1. Where're the King's Men?
All the Numenor Military regular armed forces had been assembled for the Valinor's invasion, but how about those para-military, such as auxlliary forces mentioned by @Aldarion and composed of private commercial guild's both naval and ground armed forces, garrisoning ME's Numenor's colonies(I'll provide the sources after finding it, sry for I'm pretty sure it appears in the forum yet lost now.)
2. No naval battles was mentioned, was it?
Successing the above one, as there're still bunches of Naval armed forces for Sauron and JRRT all factions of ME took part as belligrants, why all battles mentioend were ground battles.
Coorect me if I'm wrong, thanks.

Presumably any who survived the drowning of Númenor were in Umbar or the vast array of unnamed colonies in the south that seem to have vanished from history.

Sauron avoided the water like the plague because it was under the domain of Ulmo. Any naval combat was under the men of Umbar.

So, this means that all records about naval battles in the Last Alliance had vansihed presumably, doesn't it? JRRT mentioned that all creatures involed the Last Alliance, yet only ground battles were mentioned. So the Last Alliance War was a bit like the War Of The Wrath.
