Because they're ships...

Space has always been seen as a sea. They've always used nautical terms in space.

I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Because space is an ocean with landmasses (planets).

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Because of a near-century indentured view of space as an ocean instead of three dimensions.

Actually those "ships" are space crafts.
Aircraft are crewed by 1-10 people usually. Ships are crewed by 200+ people.

The navy would be better suited to operate them than the airforce since they have been operating ships for hundreds of years.

Space warfare is more like naval warfare.

SeaCRAFT is the same thing as seaShip

Honestly a space force would be better as a combination of the two. Navy based organisation system and airforce based three dimensional thinking.

Never mind that the kind of 'space ships' we see in fiction would be extremely expensive to make and extremely impractical unless we somehow create FTL and need to fight aliens or something.

And you're implying the sea isn't 3 dimensional?

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

Space crafts still fly in space. Air Force is relative to flight.


If you want to get technical, you don't fly in space, you drift. There's nothing to lift you up in space to fly.

But they fly.
Doesn't matter. Years of seeing the space as an ocean in fiction has made those terms synonymous with the terms used in space. They've been using nautical terms for too long to simply switch over.

It's three dimensional if you consider the ocean to have a second two dimensional plane underwater that submarines can inhabit.

They're a lot closer to ships than aircraft.
