- Yes. SEALs are Navy special forces, just as Green Beret's fall
- under Army ranks since they are Army special forces.

- The Coast Guard follows Navy ranks, I believe, but the Coast
- Guard is not part of the Navy. They are part of the (get this!) Department
- of Transportation. In wartime, they fall in with the Navy I believe.

- Can any former members of the Order of the Orange Stripe lend
- more information on this? The Coast Guard tends to get overlooked when
- thinking of naval power.
-
- Also, how does the US Merchant Marine rank, and under what
- service do they fall in wartime? They're really unknown, it seems.
