In early 2021, Force Recon Marines conducted a rare training with USS Ohio near Okinawa, and earlier this year US Marines trained with USS Georgia in the Mediterranean "to synchronize" Navy and Marine Corps operations.

..."Some of those side effects can appear after the subsurface phase of the infiltration or exfiltration and can even lead to long-term effects for the operators affected.
Submarine-borne infiltration and exfiltration "has one of the highest operational-risk assessments of all special-operations missions and requires highly trained, specialized diving medical technicians, diving medical officers to operate decompression chambers, and training on submarine chamber operations," Galvin added.
