Don't believe there are any crew figs included, but Eduard does make a set of US WWll carrier deck crew figs which would fill the bill nicely.

I take this back entirely! I've just seen this set of figures and they are very disappointing as they don't appear as they do in the box art; no shirt and pants - mostly coveralls; and all the figures are bare-headed - no sailor caps. In fact, my friend used these figures as Luftwaffe ground crews!
