Official Seagoing Marines Patch VMM-265 Marine Ground Control Intercept SquadronSeagoing Marines Patch Embroidered Patch Marines at Sea The Oldest Tradition in the Corps Before Marines stormed beaches, they sailed aboard warships. The Seagoing Marine tradition stretches back to the very founding of the Corps in 1775, when Marines served as shipboard security, sharpshooters, and boarding parties aboard naval vessels. This patch represents the Marines who continue that tradition, serving aboard Navy ships as Marine Detachments.
