Navy nomenclature is used more often, but there are plenty of movies/shows that have extended the air force into space so the ranks and such are used. You are right that odds are navy nomenclature would be used in most. However, the rest of the stuff is more than enough to call it a Star Trek spoof.
One show that jumped into my head quickly was Battlestar Galactica (original series as I didn't care much for the reboot) with Commander Adama, Capt. Apollo and Lt. Starbuck. The reboot turned it into a mix of navy, marines, AF, and army stuff with Admiral Adama along with captains, sargents, colonels, chiefs, corporals, specialists, etc. The XO was Colonel Tigh.
