TLAM I think you are partially right, but not 100%. It is true that Marines are under operational control of the US Navy, but only because of being transported and responsable for operations on ships. Americans have followed the tradition of the UK here, where the marine infantry was present aboard the ships to guarantee no rebellions or mutinys, as well as to fight the enemy and disembark. When in the ship, the head officer of the Marines was always lower in rank and subordinated to the captain of the ship, but just that. The marines are a branch of the army, specifically of the infantry, who serves aboard ships because their speciality is to disembark and take control of enemy beaches (That was originally, nowadays they do many more things). Since the sailors do not have the capabilities to do that, and it would mean exiting their ship (Whic is illogical to the navy), the Marines as specialized infantry in disembarkments where added to the ships. But unless I'm wrong the ranks of the marines match the ones of the army, not the ones of the Navy (No Lietenant Commaders, Frigate Captains, Corvette Captains, etc.), they wear green duty uniform etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong

To win WW3? Bwa-ha-ha! Remember, what Einstein said?

Nah, Einstein talked about WW4 and the weapons that would be used
