Here's the thinking: Air Force operates short missions. Navy goes to sea in ships for extended periods. Probably the Army will reabsorb the Air Force eventually or the Navy will take over Air Force functions. This will occur especially as human pilots are taken out of service in favor of robot control. A true Space Force would involve ships. Ships means Navy.

Being in a spacecraft on a long mission more closely resembles being in a submarine than being in a fighter jet.
Plus, how else are we going to have space ships named "Enterprise"?
