Default ship of the line gun desigantions and crew

If a ship was described as say "88 gun" did that mean 88 guns per side or 44
guns per side? And would a ship have enough crew to operate both broadsides
at once or was there only enough gunners for one side to fire at a time?

A related question, did any ships ever have only enough guns for one side of
the ship at a time and roll them to whatever side they were needed for?
