This is why the USA created the "Space Force".Today, yes.
But once we get to bigger space ships, they would be more like boats. The big ship from where the crew takes off in game is more like a carrier. The Heavy-5 itself could either be a small patrol craft similar to a WW2 US PT Boat or German Schnellboot. Or it could be one of the bigger airplanes (which on earth obviously are not on carriers due to size). Having lockers, head and showers to me makes it more of a small patrol craft instead of a plane, but I can see the argument going just the other way, since toilets are nothing special on bigger planes.
Smaller space ships like fighters would most likely be like planes, so it would be a mixed setup of air force and navy.
If we look at for example the Battlestar Galactica universe, there I feel the Battlestar is like a Space Aircraft Carrier and the Viper is a space plane while the Raptor is a space helicopter.
So it's (should be) totally different division of the military; not Air Force, and not Navy.
