I hope so, but I'll not put it past the Air Force to try and own that. You may or may not recall that the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, a few back, by name of McPeak, claimed that seapower was a sub set of air power. He also advocated a thing called "virtual presence" as an asset of air power.

Sorry, the "thinkers" in the USAF tend to be loony. The pilots tend to be pretty good.

In other space news, the Army wants to own battlespace, but IIRC someone in the Navy coined that phrase during the roles and mission debates of the early 90's.
