Hello, SashaqRed

You can do it like this:

//.h
UStaticMeshComponent* ShipMeshComponent;


//.cpp (constructor)
ShipMeshComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Ship Mesh"));
	const ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> MeshObj(TEXT("StaticMesh'/Game/Meshes/Ship.Ship'"));
ShipMeshComponent->SetStaticMesh(MeshObj.Object);

Please note that you can obtain the reference to your mesh asset by right-clicking on it in the Content Browser and selecting Copy Reference option in the References tab.

Hope this helped!

Good luck!
