I was there this morning. With the Chinese Marines on board the Type 071. The 250 year-old HMS Victory is in the background.

The English translation comes off a little rough. Probably would sound better and more flowing if simply titled "Chinese Marines".

The formal name should be "The People's Liberation Army Navy Marine".

sorry I can't work the AF in there. but The People's Liberation Army is still what they go by in the Chinese media. I understand motivation for the name change, but I still think PLA sounds more badass.

Can always make it Chinese Marine Corps or PLAN Marine Corps.....or how about Marine Corps of China? When it becomes a mouthful, it starts to sound like a run-on sentence in English. Casual doesn't make it bad. Royal Marines sounds pretty casual as well.
