Every crewmember on a naval vessel has some military training, and knows that they will be expected to fight if the ship is attacked. Note that these are 'standard' profiles, and that individuals might be a different level, have different Ability Scores and slightly different skills. Very rarely, they may even have a different class.
These crew profiles have been built without racial benefits taken into consideration.
That doesn't matter for unnamed characters, but you should personalize the stat block if you decide to name the characters. The extra skills and feats represent a mixture of their job aboard ship (Carpenter, Cook, Servant etc) and their hobbies & interests (Sing, Play an Instrument, scrimshaw etc). Racial Benefits (Humans = +1 feat & +2 skill points: Look at racial weapon proficiencies and skills in particular. Shore uniform is generally white calf-length trousers, a blue top and a simple woolly hat. On a formal parade, they will all carry a Boarding Pike.
Seaman (Expert-1 / Warrior-1)
They have probably been trained 'in service', although some will have started out as sailors, and have stayed that way ever since. These Soldier/Sailors are the lifeblood of navies everywhere - they sail the ship and can defend it - or serve as marines, if required. It is a tough life, but it is steady employment, with regular food and wages - although the wages are small and often paid in arrears - but who needs money in your pocket when you are far out to sea. A very few, the best of them, might get a chance to train as a junior officer.

During Combat, Seamen try to pick off enemy officers and leaders with the crossbows, then use ropes to swing into melee combat, and attack with their cutlasses.
You might choose to distribute a few Shipmates among the seamen.
Deck Hand (Expert-1/Commoner-1)
Deckhands work at the simple tasks associated with sailing and keeping the ship operative. You'll find them scrubbing decks, coiling ropes, hauling on lines, cooking dinner, helping the carpenter - etc. However, they also get the opportunity to train as a sailor.

During Combat, the deck hands are responsible for holding the deck of their own ship, while the marines and rowers lead the assault.
Naval Rower (Commoner-1/Warrior1)
Rower are all 'volunteers' - after a fashion. The Hann Empire doesn't really have prisons, and most restorative justice is handled by fines, community service or hard labour. Another option is to serve a term in the Hann Navy. However, criminals face an interview with the Navy, so only the most amenable and least dangerous are taken into service. Other rowers are normally itinerants or jobbing labourers who can't see a future for themselves. They all know that it will be a hard life, but they also know that they will be trained and released with a small 'signing off' benefit, at the end of their term. Many, however, choose to stay on and make a career in the navy.
As the ship closes for combat, the rowers drive their ship forwards, providing power to close and ram. Once there is contact, the rowers grab their shields and axes and follow the marines as the second wave of the assault.
Note: This is the average build for rowers. They range from Recruits (Commoner-2), Rowers (commoner/warrior - able to train as Seamen or Marines), to Military Rowers (Warrior-2 - who have decided to try for the Marines)

Marines are trained combatants, responsible for policing, guarding and security - they do not take any part in sailing the vessel. In battle they are responsible for the seige engines as the ships close, and storming other vessels, when ordered. They handle patrols and guard duties, both when they are ashore and afloat. When on duty, they wear Studded Leather Armour with a Cutlass at their belt. For really formal parades, they will carry a Boarding Pike as well.
