An embarked force for boarding and landing duties

The battleship's exact embarked complement would be a design choice, though it would likely include marines or equivalent personnel for boarding and landing tasks.

Question

How many marines or other personnel should the battleship carry for shore and boarding duties?

Short answer

The number depends on the final design, but the ship would probably embark a boarding or landing force as many modern warships do.

Notes

The number of marines would depend on the final design and the designer's choices. Some marines would probably be aboard, consistent with the boarding or landing forces carried by many contemporary warships.
