Get the Royal Marines mug.
The Amphibious Fighting Force of the United Kingdom.
Created in 1664 now amongst the top two Regiments of the United Kingdom (the other being its rival the Parachute Regiment). Far superior to the US Marine Corps, in that they are Commandos, having completed 32 Weeks of basic training, with a 30 Mile Speed march in 8 Hours (7 Hours for Officers) and other tests of physical endurance.
They come under the command of the Royal Navy, and have in their history been rewarded with 10 Victoria Crosses.
