True, but those Marine jets that operated from US navy aircraft carriers were F/A-18 and EA-6B. While the Marine's Harriers operated from LHA.

US Marines needed Aircraft carrier services because their F/A-18 and EA-6B simply cannot operate from an LHA. And those are in the old days before they acquire F-35B.

Time has changed. Marine F/A-18 and EA-6B have retired.

US military do many joint-service operations, it is not infrequent that their navy and marines work together.

This is outside this thread topic, so it ends here.

I wonder if Chinese carriers will operate both fighters and CCAs or will it focus on manned planes alone and have a 076 in the battle group dedicated to CCAs
