I somehow doubt the franchise will last that long.
MACO fleet?

No, but the argument might
If, by ground combat you mean anything not ship to ship combat. I can easily see using MACOs for boarding ships or space stations. Anything that marines would do.
Oh, absolutely. I was thinking that, but not coming up with a convenient term that would encompass those sorts of operations.

Nah, there's always the slim chance the world might end or something.
Interstellar Boarding Action.
I meant one that encompasses both ground combat and boarding actions.
Or "IBA" for short.
Because, there has to be an acronym for everything
Pronounced "eye-buh". Because there has to be a ludicrous saying for every acronym.
You know that weird looking ship from DS9's "A Time to Stand", the one that looks like an Excelsior and a Miranda had a baby? The USS Curry, it was called.
I've always thought the Curry could be a Starfleet Marine (yes, they do exist, deal with it) troop transport. That forward-slung secondary hull may be a troop barracks that can be detached and left behind, as a sort of home base for a regiment of marines after they are deployed to wherever they need to go...
While I like to think of the Curry as a hospital ship, I have to agree it would make a great troop transport, too.
Of course, my initial idea for a design like this was a through-deck carrier.
...you...better be careful there...
Oh, keep you're shirts on everyone. "Navy" just means "fleet" and anyone who doesn't think Starfleet isn't a fleet isn't paying attention to the name. Or are we now going to make the bold claim that Starfleet isn't a fleet?
It's a ParaNavy, Duhh!
Yellow alert never has a sound effect on the show or movies. Your post is a blatant canon violation.
