They can change out the men with planes coming in and picking them up/dropping off new crew. They also receive supplies (food, gas, water, spare parts, etc.) from other Navy ships. They could perform the maintenance in deep water (although it wouldn't be ideal or suggested). Theoretically, they could stay out for ever (except Nuclear powered ones who would run out of their nuclear fuel in 50 yrs).
