        if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Tab) && shipGUI.enabled == true)
			shipGUI.enabled = false;
		if(Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Tab) && shipGUI.enabled == false)

You are disabling a script with that code, not any renderers if it had any attached to the game object.

Also as a tip for what it’s worth - you could condense that code down to:

if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Tab))
    shipGUI.enabled = !shipGUI.enabled;

Perhaps you wanted to disable the entire game object?

var guiGameObject = shipGUI.gameObject;

if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Tab))
    guiGameObject.SetActive (!guiGameObject.activeSelf);
