Why in Sci-Fi they always use Marine or Naval terminology and structure instead of Aviation for the spaceship structure, navigation and military ranks?

I don't really know how to structure this question, but yeah, why is always Naval and never Aviation?

Naval terminology is cooler.

"I'm the Captain of the USS Enterprise."

Vs

"I'm the Colonel of the Exploration/Reconnaissance/Fighter craft Enterprise."
