A 180 man crew? Isn’t that rather large for a modern ship of that size?

Actually it’s a bit low. Modern destroyers run 200-250

The LCS have a crew in that range. They do, however, have a shipboard and a shore division - so essentially, you have 2 crews, one aboard and one ashore that swap places every few months (or deployments?)

I was at the USS Fort Worth’s commissioning in Galveston, and even was given a ships coin from Sec. Mabus.
