It was supposed to be like that, but this feature never made it into the campaign. I think we'll add back in a few missing features like that. After all, we had the vessel permadeath in Atlantic Fleet.
The Soviets didn't have persistent hull numbers like the USN has, so their ships tended to change numbers fairly frequently depending on which fleet or division they were assigned to at the time. So in game they draw from a pool of hull numbers for that particular class.
