Yes, there are Marine Detachments assigned to some large vessels as escorts and guard duty. Most are related to Marine Corps armaments and special weapons, but they are considered ship's company.

I was on a ship from 1986 to 1990 (USS Belleau Wood LHA-3) that had a few Marines as part of ship's company. They worked with the AO's (Aviation Ordnanceman) in the magazines.
