∙ 11y agoThey both are very similar because the both involve the water "warfare". Though the Navy is the one who would control the pathways to make sure the shipping lines are open and to keep things under control. They are almost like the coast gaurd who controls what enters and exits the country but the Navy keep things clear. The Marines are the one who would actually go into battle, they have heavier training and they are on the front line when it comes to overseas battles.
So basically:
Navy - Controls access of ease throughout the waters
Marines - The ones in combat situations
