**Marine Detachment, USS Bennington (CVS-20), 7th Fleet Marine Force (FMF):** The Marine Detachment aboard USS Bennington (CVS-20) was an integral component of the ship’s complement during her service with the U.S. Navy, particularly as part of the 7th Fleet Marine Force (FMF) in the Pacific theater. Tasked with shipboard security, ceremonial duties, and rapid response in emergencies, the detachment played a vital role during the Cold War era, supporting anti-submarine warfare operations and power projection missions. Marines from the detachment were trained to provide close-in defense of the carrier, as well as to participate in landing parties and amphibious operations if required. Throughout its service, the Marine Detachment exemplified the close cooperation between the Navy and Marine Corps, reinforcing the Bennington’s operational capabilities during deployments in the Western Pacific and beyond.

The detachment’s primary duties included providing security for the ship, manning the ship’s secondary batteries, and performing ceremonial functions. Marines aboard the Columbus often participated in Cold War-era deployments, including Mediterranean cruises and NATO operations, projecting American naval power and presence.

Marines from the detachment participated in shipboard drills, inspections, and port security operations, ensuring the vessel's readiness and protection at home and abroad. The detachment was deactivated when Marine Detachments were phased out of non-capital ships in the late 20th century, following changes in naval security practices.
