I seem to remember that for some reason the crew had to destroy the ship at the end, stranding themselves.
Any ideas?

You almost had it right.
Nightrider by David Mace
The enemy nation had set up a base on the 10th planet. Nightrider was a new stealth spaceship using an undetectable gravity drive. It was on a mission to destroy the enemy base.
For reasons I do not recall, the ship's computer goes all HAL-9000 on them and kills most of the crew, before the ship is destroyed.
