Grit,
To answer the question by Short Rounds, When the General Quarters Alarm is sounded on Naval Ships "where do the Marines Go?"
There are Marines on all Navy ships in the U.S. Fleet that are assigned to duty on that ship. From Military Police Guarding the ships, Captain and Brigg (jail) to Communications and Air, these people are called "Ships Company" they report to their combat assigned area, all other Marines are called "Embarked Troops" they report to their assigned birthing quarters or equipment bay.
