As we all know, Space Is an Ocean. So naturally, what does The Federation do when it needs someone to defend it in space? Why, it turns to its Space Navy. A Space Navy has a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet naturally enough, which probably includes at least one class of Cool Starship, possibly with a Fantastic Ship Prefix. Likely it will have an arm of space marines. But it has more. It has the same sort of atmosphere as a real navy. It has organization and obstructive bureaucrats. It has tradition and famous names. It might even have in-jokes, perhaps the same ones as when a given writer was in the navy. The heroes will likely be part of a Command Roster. See also Space Sailing. Examples |

Rocketship Voyager. The Tri-World Federation has Spacefleet (not Starfleet because no-one's been outside the Solar System yet) and as the fanfic is ostensibly a 1950's sci-fi magazine story, Voyager has similarities to a US Navy destroyer, as if the author consulted Robert A. Heinlein for a sense of verisimilitude. Captain Janeway however isn't happy about this trope. | |

Every particular race in the X-Universe has their own Space Navy, including the normally peaceful Boron and mercantile Teladi, but the Terran United Space Command and the AGI Task Force take the cake. The former is a huge naval arm that serves as the primary force for the Terran State while the latter is a special forces branch dedicated to searching and eliminating any rogue AGI-controlled ship that dare to enter Terran territory, hence their name. The space-based MegaCorps, such as OTAS and Strong Arms, also have their own private navies to protect their assets from pirates, the Xenon, the Kha'ak, other rival governments, and each other themselves for rivalry-based Corporate Warfare. | |

Sins of a Solar Empire has the Trade Emergency Coalition, which is, basically, the old Trade Order retooled for warfare in the face of the Vasari and Advent invasions. Given their technological inferiority, the TEC relies mainly on its ability to outproduce the enemy. Most of the warships definitely have a "converted cargo hauler" look to them, a stark contrast to the Shiny-Looking Spaceships of the Advent and the more alien-looking (but still curvy) Vasari ships. | |

The Daedalus-class battlecruisers operated by the United States in the Stargate-verse both averts it and plays it straight. On one hand, the ship is operated by the United States Air Force, and the rank structure is the same (so the equivalent of The Captain is in fact a colonel). On the other hand, the ships have the same "USS" prefix as commissioned Naval ships, although Fanon held for a while that the prefix was "USAFV" (United States Air Force Vessel, by analogy with USAV, United States Army Vessel; "USAFS", the actual designation for a USAF ship—not currently in use—was apparently not cool enough). This also applies to the Russian-operated Korolev, commanded by Colonel Chekov of the Russian Air Force. It's not stated which branch of the Chinese military operates the Sun Tzu, but it's also likely to be the People's Liberation Army Air Force. For the USAF, it's likely their primary role came about partly by coincidence (the Stargate was stored in an Air Force base when the Stargate program began, and the space fleet is an offshoot of that program) and partly because the Air Force was already in charge of the US military's space operations (as in real life). |

Arrivals from the Dark books by Mikhail Akhmanov have the United Space Forces. Unusually for Russian sci-fi writers, the USF in this setting have the British and American ranking system. In the first novel, the entire USF consists of about 70 ships and several hundred fighters based on them (split up into 3 fleets, each commanded by an admiral from a different Earth power bloc), and its tasks include patrolling the Solar System and countering terrorism threats on Earth. After the failed Alien Invasion, which granted humans plenty of Imported Alien Phlebotinum, the number of fleets in the USF is increased. Eventually, after a series of wars with other races, the USF becomes the most powerful military force in the known space. After the formation of the Earth Federation, it's renamed to the Earth Federation Space Forces. | |

Halo features the United Nations Space Command Navy. John-117 got his nickname "the Master Chief" because he's actually a Master Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. The UNSC military is essentially organized as the US military IN SPACE!, with the Army as the primary ground combat arm, the Air Force operating atmospheric aircraft and ground-based space fighters, the Marine Corps as the expeditionary force-in-readiness, and the Navy to operate the big spaceshipsnote Fluff material explains that the UNSC Navy also has "wet fleets" of conventional seagoing warships on Earth, Reach, and other colonized planets with significant oceans and to give the Marines a ride. | |

Star Trek: Starfleet is seemingly a 50-50 mix of the Age of Sail and World War II navies. Although it was partially modelled on the Air Force, which is why it seems like the crew is entirely made up of officers (in the Air Force, officers are the ones who go into combat while the enlisted stay back and act as support). Remember, Gene Roddenberry served in the United States Army Air Forces as a Captain in WW2. Enlisted personnel would often see combat as defensive gunners, radio operators, flight engineers, and other technician specialtiesnote There's also the Air Force's "Special Tactics" personnel, including but not limited to Pararescue Jumpers, who engage in ground combat, but generally only on bombers. Single- or two-seat fighters won't have those crew positions. Meanwhile, the ground crews will be made up almost entirely of enlisted airmen. |

Battletech: The Successor States and the Clans have their own space navy, but they are not as highlighted as mechwarriors. Since the fall of the Star League, the manufacturing of warships and jumpships have been crippled, with the production of the formers destroyed. Recently newer warships are now being produced, and dropships have been redesigned into pocket-warships. However, due to the ease at which space navy forces can wipe out (and consequently overshadow) Battlemechs, during the Word of Blake Jihad it was decided by the then-current line developer to have most of the warships and the shipyards capable of producing them destroyed, leaving most factions with very limited space naval capability. | |

Partly averted in Transhuman Space, where the USA's military space presence is the ambit of the Air Force, and thus many traditional "ships in space" tropes are averted. Some of the other space militaries are run by navies, however (the Royal Navy got responsibility for UK space operations, and China's space military is the People's Liberation Army Navy Space Force), and the US Navy is still not over having lost the war in the Pentagon over space supremacy. | |

The History of the Galaxy series has the Confederate fleet, which started as the ragtag Colonial fleet during the First Galactic War, borrowing much from its Earth Alliance counterpart fleet after winning the war. It was disbanded when the original Confederacy was dissolved but re-formed several decades later along with the Confederacy when it became clear that colonies couldn't defend themselves against an external threat. For most of its existence, it's a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet, although later novels have the "standard" fleet reassigned to protect Core worlds only and a new, mobile, carrier-based fleet (focused around new modular fighters) will take its place in the Periphery, which has grown too large for the standard fleet to protect. Strangely enough, it's not uncommon for Space Fighter pilots to also serve as Space Marines and Real Robot pilots, likely an example of The Main Characters Do Everything. | |

Wing Commander has not only a Space Navy, but an Air Force analog (Terran Confederation Space Force), as well. There's no real rhyme or reason as to when a carrier is host to a Navy wing or a Space Force one, and there's apparently some switching of personnel between the services (Commodore [a navy rank] Blair in Prophecy was, prior to 2681, in Space Force, which uses a modified Army rank structure). The ships themselves, however, are pure navy, and manned by navy crews. There's an element of Truth in Television to this, as some countries here on Earth have been known to go back and forth on whether their naval aviation assets should be operated by the Navy proper, seconded from the Air Force or a separate entity altogether. Britain in particular has a tradition of this sort of thing stretching back nearly as long as there have been British military aeroplanes; see The UK Armed Forces for details. |

Ender's Game has the International Fleet, formed after the First Formic Invasion, which has various branches responsible for crewing ships, piloting Space Fighters, and ground combat. This is because the same international treaty that formed the IF also forced all Earth nations to disband its regular military forces, incorporating them into the IF structure. Naturally, as soon as the war is over, the IF is disbanded, and the nations once again remember old grudges, restoring their usual military structures. Whatever is left of the IF becomes responsible for building colony ships to settle former Formic planets. In the Ender sequels, the Starways Congress fleet is responsible for peacekeeping in the Hundred Worlds despite the lack of FTL travel. In the Second Formic War trilogy of prequels, the IF is shown in its infancy, and it's a mess. After being hastily put together from, pretty much, every military force on the planet, the IF brass tries its damned best to make servicemen and women from wildly different cultures and traditions fit into the new structure. Corruption and careerism are the norm rather than the exception. Competent officers and soldiers are sidelined by their more politically-minded colleagues, who try to get the best deal they can for themselves... knowing that a vast Formic fleet is on the way and is expected to arrive in a few short years. Anyone with actual brains can only shake their head at this incredible short-sightedness. In an afterword, Card's co-author Aaron Johnston cites several retired servicemen, who have seen this sort of mess on a smaller scale in NATO and when working closely with other nations' militaries. | |

The Warhammer 40,000 spin-off Battlefleet Gothic is all about this, and despite being set in the 41st Millennium has a very Age of Sail feel to things - tactics concern broadsides, line formations, and crossing the enemy's T, and the hordes of crewmen manually loading the plasma cannons were probably press-ganged from the last planet the ship visited. The Imperium of Man made the Imperial Navy separate from the Imperial armies, as a means to prevent would be overlords forming their own space spanning empires that would threaten the Imperiums rule. |

Space: Above and Beyond featured the US Navy in this role, along with the implied participation of several other nations' space navies in Earth's war against the Chigs.

A key point of the later books of Vatta's War is Ky Vatta trying to start one due to the face that Space Pirates have united to form a fleet to take control of the universe. Before as each system was it's own government, they used a planetary militia and Privateers to protect their own worlds. | |

Legend of the Galactic Heroes has two sides going to war with eachother: The Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance. Each side has over 200,000 warships and can easily hit the other from 4 million miles away. An average full fleet consists of about 12,000 ships. A commodore controls more ships than real life fleet admirals do. | |

Il était une fois...Space: in addition to each race having a navy the Omega Confederation -that englobates them- has one for itself, that acts as a police force even if it ends up building some of the most powerful warships in existence there. Ranks are based on real-world naval ones (commander, admiral, etc) and ships classes are the typical ones of a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet, even if heavy cruisers are the (named) top of the line and fighters include from small one-man ships to others much larger. | |

In the reimagined series, the concept is actually deconstructed to a point. Pre-Cylon attack, the trope is played deadly straight, but once the series starts the "fleet" has been reduced to a single military Cool Ship (and the requisite fighters aboard). Scenes on the Battlestar are still played straight, but in general the series has a very different tone than most space navy shows. | |

Wing Commander: The film, basically being World War II IN SPACE!, centers around a carrier, the TCS Tiger Claw, one of the few surviving ships of a Kilrathi attack on their home base. They must delay the enemy long enough for Admiral Tolwyn to move his fleet into position to defend Earth. | |

Raumpatrouille is a notable aversion, here the ranks, organisation, standards of behaviour etc. are based more on those of the air force. The crew of the Orion for instance behave a lot like stereotypical fighter pilots. | |

Space 1889: averted as far as actual space is concerned. Combat in space is impractical. Combat takes place in the air or air-to-ground, not in space. Played straight in that sky ships are handled by the regular navy, space navy is not a separate branch of the armed forces, terminology and technology is very similar to those of the regular navy. | |

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident has the Noah colony fleet. Mostly averted in the case of ISA, which only controls space travel up to the Lunar orbit, with the rest of the Solar System being fought over by the various Mega Corps. Your character, Marcus Cromwell, is originally an ISA pilot. After the ISA-Mega-Corp war, which the former loses, Cromwell is hired by a Mega-Corp called SpaceTech to captain one of their corvettes. Later on, he ends up being sent across the galaxy to Noah and becomes part of the Noah fleet command structure. | |
