from the ship comparison charts you can see that a battleship is aprox 500-800 metres long and about 100-200 metres high making them quite capable of holding quite a few people. A typical frig is something like 50 mtres long. A pod has 1000m3 volume making the radius of the pod (qassuming its a sphere) around 6 metres.
I seem to have read somewhere that the pod is 20metres in diameter wich seem a bit strange since it then would take up more than half the space of an frigate. But if so i guess that settles it as far as crews in frigs go.
Cruisers are something like 100-200 metres long, a battlecruiser 300-400. So it makes it reasonable to think they should have some 50 odd crew.
A carrier seem to be twice the size of battleships (around 1,5km) and dread around twice the carrier, the mothership somewhere inbetween that.
The Iowa class battleships of US navy is about 270m long and have a crew of 1800 people.
Taking into concern better technology and the fact that most of the ship is run by the pod pilot lets say a ship of that sice (comparable to a cruiser or battlecruiser of eve) have something like 900 people. Lets say 400 for a cruiser and 900 for the BC.
Scaling that to battleships makes them have around 1800 people, carriers 3600 and a dread 7000 people.
Of coruse nothing says crew count should scale linear but it should place it in the ballpark. And the chronicles seem to support something of a thousand people on a battleship.

According to the chart the typhoon is 770m long, raven 600 and the apoc and mega a wopping 1400m long. Thats right the apoc is almos the same length as a nidhoggur and the same length as the smalles carrier, the chimera.
Whats most strange is the size of the pod and the size of some frigs. the volume of the pod is 1000m3 making the diameter around 12m but that would make it bigger than frigs like the slahser and reaper or even the rifter(wich is around 6m high)
whats even more odd is the size of the ships ingame. the carriers are around 3/4-1/2 the size that the ship comparison suggest. After doing some comparison of ships like the typhoon and the apoc it seems they have proper size relative eachothers.
The Naglfar according to the chart is 4,5km long. around 6 times the lenght of the typhoon.
Another strange thing is that the caldari have some of the smallest ships in the chart. Raven is 600m long but then again its about the same width. But how they came to be the heaviest ships is a mystery only solve by the assumption that other bigger ships like the apoc have more inside space (are less dense)
edit. but then again this thread isnt about the size but anyway.

Random point
For those who use evemon, if you look at the stats listed, theres a stat listed as "max passengers" I've thought that thats the max possible crew
I.e. a condor has 8 max passengers, raven has about 1000, pheonix has about 999, Titan has 1500
May be not exact numbers, but another thing to ponder in this puzzle
could also mean passenger besides the crew
