Honestly, I've never had much of a problem with it. It seems obvious to me that wet navies will at least try to transfer their traditions to space-based militaries when such are developed. (The US Navy certainly tried like all hell to keep air combat under their control!) It's probably more efficient, in this (or that) day and age, than trying to develop a completely new set.
