I kinda doubt that , I seem to recall the Phoenicians were pretty good at that type of warfare a couple of millenia earlier and the Athenians did a fair number of amphib operations too. Where are they now? Were they formally constituted? What date? It takes more than amphibious operations to make a marine corps. If it makes you feel better, change my sentence to "The oldest modern marine corps...." or "The oldest marine corps still in existence...." You're just splitting hairs because it's not the Royal Marines. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer
