| Firstly: The Comdt General RM stated the operational requirement for a fourth Commando in the magazine interview some months previously. I read the article and mention was made of it on this site. No authoratitive source in the UK media or elsewhere has ever rebutted the General.
Secondly, whilst it would place some strain on Lympestone (Cdo Trg Centre) to have 600 pongos undergo the 4 weeks All Arms Cdo Course (currently undertaken by aspiring Army Cdos) I believe that this would be less so than recruiting 1000 plus (allowing for wastage)for the 26 plus weeks RM Cdo recruit training.
Thirdly, in recent years the UK has invested heavily in replacing and improving its amphibious lift capability. They may now have the shipping to move four Cdos.
