It does happen, but it's not terribly common. Large decks such as carriers do maintain a security department, although it's small and only a fraction of that is junior sailors (E4 and below).
Small boys (DDGs, CGs, etc) typically only have one MA and it's pretty much always a 1st Class or above.
You best bet as an MA to get aboard a ship is to make it a career and keep pushing for sea duty later down the road once you're a bit more senior. The problem is just that there aren't a ton of jobs on board ships that they need an MA to fill. Standard security duties are already covered by trained personnel from the ship.
