I've always thought it natural that fleets of futuristic space ships were refered to as the Navy. They are ships after all. Bu-bu-bu-bu-but! Wait a minute! NOOOOO!
Since I've decided on enlisting in the Air Force, I've been browsing their website and flyers and whatnot, and I noticed something- Technically, in America at least, it's the Air Force's court, not the Navy's! Now, to prove that I am making a well-supported, well-grounded, well-scholarlyish, well-thought out, well-presented, well-put together, not-repetitive in any way shape or form statement, a word from my trustworthy scource: Wikipedia! "The United States Air Force (USAF) is the aerial warfare and space warfare branch of the U.S." http://www.airforce.com/ mentions it too, in case there is someone out there who wouldn't think to look there. (Sorry Navy, you're still pretty cool)
Who wuda thunk? I didn't, but I wonder why it's never come to me until now.
