That's because aircraft maintenance alone could mean the act of maintaining aircraft so it needs the word personnel in it to identify the person doing the actual maintenance. Lookouts however automatically mean the persons themselves and as such used in naval lingo. Even the wikipedia article states it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookout

In my experience, you don't have to translate every Japanese word out there so I think lookout/s is enough as it is understood they're the persons in charge of the observation on a ship.
