Semi-autonomous ship technology could still reduce the size of crew required. The ship can navigate itsself, steer itsself. You don't need to keep someone on the bridge at all times to watch the radar and listen for the radio. The crew can be reduced to just a very small number of people to perform maintenance tasks.
