The US Marine Corps is an arm of the US Navy. It has less aircraft than the USN, and although it uses most of the naval aircraft, e.g. Corsairs in WW2; A-4 Skyhawks, F-8 Crusaders, F-4 Phantoms, A-6 Intruders, A-7 Corsair II's, etc., all from the Vietnam War...those jet aircraft were used for tactical air strikes to support the Marines fighting on the ground. Marine aircraft are used to support Marines. The Marine Corps is smaller than the it's parent Navy, and has a smaller air force. During the Viet War, USN & Marines flew the same aircraft: the USN bombed North Vietnam; the US Marines bombed South Vietnam in support of their Marines.

Who is tougher the US Marines or UK Royal Marines?
Tough question, and not designed to improve Anglo-American relations, so I'll have a Walfdorf Salad and say that both are very tough, and I would not want to get on the bad side of either. The US Marines are a much larger unit than the UK Royal Marines, but the US is a much larger country, so it may come out much the same in terms of individual toughness.
