It is indeed random. Yes, the size of the crew is matched to the size (and type) of ship. Remember that Commander grew slowly from doing just a couple of things to the beautiful monster it is today.

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.
That's a good way to look at it. It would be nice if it was tied to the weather as well, but I don't think Jaesen is planning to do any more updates, ever.
