Manning the Rails on a Modern-day Aircraft Carrier?
I spent a few years in the Navy, but either manning the mooring lines, or below deck because I became a shipboard firefighter. I am seeking an answer:
How many sailors does it take to man the rails on a modern-day Aircraft carrier? I was never actually involved, so I really don't know.
Yeah.... I understand that anyone not working. I was more looking for a NUMBER, on average!

Everyone who's not on watch elsewhere is the answer.
You can always find more room to put people around for Manning the Rails...

It probably varies on how many people are available to do it without disrupting normal port operations.
