Yes, Marines often form security details on other ships, plus their aviators sometimes fly off carriers.

I'm sorry to say ALL previous Answers are WRONG! Due to bugget cuts & changes in naval priorties, All Marine Detachments have been eliminated. The only Marines at sea out side of Amphibs, are in F/A18 units on carriers.
"The1997 the Quadrennial Defense Review recommended more than 3,000 cuts from the Corps' nonoperating forces. The largest cut was made by removing 1,771 billets from the MCSF battalion. The Commandant had decided to beef up the Fleet Marine Force in favor of the ships' detachments, a strategic manpower decision he was forced to make.
By January 1998 All Marine Corps Message 24/98 announced that all Marine ships' detachments (totalling 11 officers/275 enlisted) were to be disestablished. The nondeployed detachments stood down on Jan. 31, while the remaining deployed detachments were to stand down following their deployments.
Those Marines from the disestablished detachments were to be used to create a second Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST) company. "

My brother served on the Aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy as a Ground crew member for a carrier based Marine Attack squadron. Many ships also include security details aboard navy ships.

What do you consider to be an amphibious ship? Marines are foot soldiers, airmen, Special Forces and the Navy's private little army. Aren't you glad we have them?
