Would a navy or air force control space warships?

The personal forecast favors naval control, while current American institutional development points toward the air-force lineage.

Question

Would future space warships be controlled by a navy or an air force?

Short answer

The expectation is a navy, though the United States is developing its space institutions from the Air Force side.

Notes

The answer is explicitly a personal expectation, with the outcome left open. It favors a naval institutional home for vessels treated as warships. The American organizational path comes through the Air Force, however, so the actual outcome remains uncertain. That uncertainty turns attention to service traditions, operating environments, and bureaucratic inheritance when new military domains emerge.
