Subject: RE:Royal Naval Commandos/Royal Naval Division

The Royal Naval Commandos were basically Royal Marines taking on the tasks on board ships, during WW2. Usually they were the ones firing the Guns on battle ships,cruisers destroyers etc. I believe they wore navy blue berets and although operating the weponary of the Ships they were still referd to as the Marines. Also the Royal Marines of the time which fought on land and wore (the originals) of course the Green Berets. Both Groups called Royal Marines just one on land and one at sea.
Now its just the green berets on land known as the Royal Marine Commandos. They are part of the Royal Navy and take orders from the Navy, not the Army. No Marines are used to run Navy ships these days,I think that ended after WW2.
