Where do human sailors fit in Azur Lane?

Would human sailors become dockyard and logistics workers or enter the reserve when kansen take over combat?

Manjuu and automation already perform much of the dockyard and supply work initially proposed for human sailors.

The initial suggestion assigns people to maintenance, construction and supply as well as the reserve. Dragon corrects the premise by describing automated facilities and Manjuu labour, including logistics. Kansen are then explained as a way to reduce human combat losses in a setting where human numbers have become a constraint. The time needed to raise another generation makes replacement manpower a different problem from building automated forces. Automation and Manjuu labour leave the proposed dockyard role for displaced human crews in doubt.
