A lot of SF (milsf especially, of course) assumes a Space Navy with
heavy wet Navy traditions.  In real life, it appeared for a long while
that in the US, the "space" arm of the military would be the Air Force.

Now it appears we will have an actual "Space Force" separate from
either older service:

Of course, this is contingent on Congressional action, so it may all
grind to a halt if the midterms shift control..

All apart from the important military ramifications, there should be some
neat logos and patches..
