NO, Marines are a Navy outfit, according to Babel fish. I guess the program still has some wrinkles.

Marines are (grudgingly) a subsidiary of the Department of the Navy, maybe it was them.

Well, technically a Marine Expeditionary Force is part of the Navy; although, neither the Marines nor the Navy likes to think about it.
