Not much I'm afraid, but hovercraft are used by 539 Assault Squadron (http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.5313), Royal Marines.

The two that spring to my mind are the US LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) and the Russian Pomornik (Zubr) class, which has already been mentioned.

You are kidding right?

Just did a Google search using "hovercraft" and "Marine hovercraft".

Tons of stuff...
