Does the UK not have the equivalent of a Coast Guard? In the US, the Coast Guard has the law enforcement mission (including human smuggling/immigration) and USN is forbidden to get directly involved.
As in a military service in the USA - no, see below. Helo SAR is covered by civil contract, currently Bristows.
