What is the minimum people to move an aircraft carrier 100 feet?

Question:
I am debating with someone at work this question. If an aircraft carrier is in the middle of the ocean with the engines powered up, how many people would it take to move the boat forward 100 feet and to turn it just a tad? I am not concerend with people in the control tower or mechanics on board or cooks, etc. Just to get it to move forward 100 feet and to turn the "wheel". Thanks

What date did the Titanic sink?

Having spent years on several different aircraft carriers. Technically 2. One at the helm and one in the engine room. It would be hard, but it could be done if everything was already started and running at idle. Why only 100 feet? And such a small turn? Once it is going, it is not going to stop in 100 feet, and the turning radius on a carrier can be several miles at faster speeds and could be done in under a mile at 10 knots and bow & stern thrusters assisting the turn. But that would take a team of people.
