So if CHF is the supposed maritime and amphibious experts, why is it in the JHC in the first place? If they love the sea and bobbing around so much, why aren't they under a maritime HQ?

I don't believe that CHF had a speaking part in the formation of JHC, which IIRC occurred prior to the arrival of Merlin 3 and during a time when pretty much all UK ops (Balkans, Telic etc) requiring RW lift called on Yeovilton (and Odiham) first.
