There is no average - sailors who are stationed aboard active Navy ships and submarines are generally aboard every day in port, and of course 24/7 while underway. The exceptions are if the sailor is detached for training or any type of leave.
While in port, a typical day is like any other job, typically muster at 0700 and dismissal at 1630 or 1700. Usually, 4 day watch rotations are set in port, meaning every 4 days sailors assigned to the specific watch sections must remain on board past normal duty hours to stand in-port safety and security watches. Ships and submarines require constant attention. Breaking up the watches over a 4 day period ensures that everyone gets time off with family. Larger ships with bigger crews may have 6 or more days for a watch rotation. Shore commands might have 30 day watch rotations.
Navy mission requirements and the assigned specific mission of the vessel any sailor is stationed on determines how often the ship/submarine is at sea or away from home port. For example, during my first year on board my vessel (USS RAY (SSN-653), a fast-attack submarine) I noted that we were away from home port or at sea for approximately 300 days out of the year. Submarines are usually only deployed for periods of less than 90 days, whereas surface vessels can remain at sea for much longer periods. This is due to the ability of surface vessels to resupply at sea.

Do you have to be on a ship to be in the navy?
Most sailors will serve aboard ships much of the time, but it isn't a hard-and-fast rule. I myself am a retired U.S. Navy officer having served for 21 years, and have never been to sea. But I was assigned to a Navy Patrol Squadron flying the airliner-sized P-3 Orion patrol aircraft. I've only spent three nights aboard a ship in my life! And my friends tell me that my nights aboard ship don't count, because it was on the R.M.S. Queen Mary, which is welded to the pier in Long Beach, California. But I say a ship is a ship! Jokes aside, many Navy jobs are in support roles ashore.
