Marine Detachment USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70)
U.S. Navy
The Marine Detachment (MARDET) aboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) was established shortly after the carrier’s commissioning in 1982. MARDET provided onboard security, ceremonial duties, and supported shipboard operations, including nuclear weapon security during the Cold War. Marines also participated in training for ship defense, boarding operations, and reinforced the close relationship between the Navy and Marine Corps. The tradition of Marine Detachments on Navy ships was phased out in the late 1990s, but the legacy of MARDET USS Carl Vinson remains an important chapter in both naval and Marine Corps history.
Marine Detachment USS Long Beach (CGN-9)
U.S. Navy
The Marine Detachment aboard USS Long Beach (CGN-9) served as an integral part of the ship’s company from her commissioning in 1961 until the Navy-wide phase-out of shipboard Marine detachments in the late 20th century. Responsible for internal security, ceremonial duties, and manning the ship’s secondary battery during General Quarters, the Marines also provided a landing force capability when needed. Throughout the Cold War, the detachment supported the cruiser’s various deployments, including Vietnam War operations and numerous show-of-force missions. The Marine Detachment was officially disbanded in the 1990s as part of a broader reorganization of Navy-Marine Corps manpower on surface ships.
Marine Detachment USS Philippine Sea (CV-47)
U.S. Navy
The Marine Detachment aboard USS Philippine Sea (CV-47) was activated when the Essex-class aircraft carrier was commissioned in May 1946. As with other carrier-based Marine Detachments of the era, its primary roles included ship security, ceremonial duties, and the operation of the ship’s brig. During the Korean War, the Marine Detachment supported air operations and contributed to shipboard defense while the Philippine Sea launched air strikes in support of United Nations forces. The unit remained active throughout the ship’s deployments until the carrier’s decommissioning in 1958, exemplifying Marine Corps discipline and tradition afloat.
