The Marine Corps is not senior to the Navy, nor is the Navy senior to the Marine Corps. The USMC is a branch of the US Military under the jurisdiction of the Navy. Basically, the Marines conduct landing operations on coastal areas, working WITH the Navy, who mainly stays on the ships and in the air.
If however the question regards parade marching position, then yes, the Marine Corps does take precedence by tradition over the Navy.
