I don’t really know how to structure this question, but yeah, why is always Naval and never Aviation?

    I think this is mainly it.

    Additionally, aviation terminology is often very specialized, usually pertaining to aerodynamics and the like. But ship terminology is often more general.

    For example, airplanes have aerofoils and control surfaces, where ships (both space and maritime) have thrusters.
