Jocks found in hammock among the crew? (8)

I believe the answer is:

scotsmen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jocks' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hammock among the crew?' is the wordplay.
'hammock' becomes 'scots' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'among' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the crew?' becomes 'men' (both can mean a group of workers).
'scots'+'men'='SCOTSMEN'

'found in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scotsmen that I've seen before include "Some from north of the border" , "Jock, Angus, Rob and their like" .)
