I have no idea what his "source" would be, but that's the only way to get the real info, is to research and gather. I'm sure any of the existing OTC mods would have a percentage of the vessels in FotRSU, though not all of them.
My "source" is the actual game itself. Nothing in a "real life reference book" can be used to replicate measurements if a game measurement is different than what the real world measurement is stated as. AND, that's exactly what you have with this game.

A meter is not a true meter, a yard does not measure 36 inches (3 feet), and so on. You're barking up the wrong tree to think you can use "real life" measurements with this game ,and add up to true accurate measurements......won't happen!
