This. The maintenance crews are on the carrier. They can be moved to a land base along with the aircraft, but that would leave the carrier undefended.

Isn't carrier defence what the other ships that travel with the carrier do?

Carrier defense is, in theory, like an onion. Aircraft, SAMs, point defense. Aircraft are probably the most important since not many launching platforms can get into range of the carrier without risking attack by aircraft.
