[General Scifi] Why is the space military likened to the Navy?

Bunch of pilots flying around, having dogfights in fighter craft. Seems a lot like the Air Force to me.

But most military action in space is more akin to naval battles - large ships, requiring a lot of crew to maintain the vessels, man gunner positions, and replace the dead. And in-between, a whole lot of nothing to do but run drills and maintain equipment.

They're more like carriers or battleships than air bases.
