In ST:Voyager, they mention that there's a Navy and that Paris wanted to join it. So if there's a Navy, why do they use Navy ranks and terminology for their space people(sorry, not sure what the correct term is)? Shouldn't they be using either the Army or Air Force ranks and terms?

Star Fleet is like the space navy. It doesn't mean it replaces the regular navy.
It's Star Fleet, as in a fleet of ships among the stars.
They're in space "ships", not space planes.

Does that mean airships used naval ranks?

I don't think those carry any armaments. Those are civilian pilots captaining those.

Most of the airships that were used by the US where operated by the Navy. The Shenandoah, the Los Angeles, the Akron and Macon, all USN. The Navy also had 16 classes of blimp. The Army had blimps, more actually than the Navy during the 1920s, but they operated no rigid airships.

A rigid airship has an envelope that uses an internal framework to keep it's shape, while a blimp uses the pressure of the lifting gas to maintain shape. The Hindenburg was a rigid airship, the Goodyear Blimp is, duh, a blimp.
