I would also assume it is random. Maybe the size of the crew is matched to the ship type, but I would be suprised, and impressed, if it was more precise than that.
Point of real life- Sadly, many a sailor who survived the actual sinking of his ship did not survive to be rescued. That's how Commander might say only one man out of 72 survived to be rescued even if most of the crew made it off the sinking ship.
