Why do Soldiers Inc. advertisements primarily now use naval vessels ?

If you use Bing or MSN, you may have seen ads for this game. One of them shows a aircraft carrier from the front at sea level, sort of tilted to one side, and the other shows various similar ships from the sides with different national flags, and some statistics for them, like weight and number of aircraft. The thing is, this isn't a naval game ! Its a base-builder game set totally on land. So, why does it use advertisements that don't relate at all to anything in the actual game ?

Evony and other games of its type often use suggestive women in their ads in a similar way, but that is fairly obviously because sex sells, which is a very old adage, but this is just strange. I mean, if they like modern military ships so much, why not make an actual ship-based game, and advertise it with ships, rather than use ships to advertise a land-based game ? I have seen naval games, so such a game could be made. Is 'Ships sell' the new 'sex sells' of gaming ? Does anyone know the reason for this silliness ?

Same with the other sites seems this getting more and more common at least here its only ships and at least they not trying to make it out like a porn site .

Guys, banners are not always reflecting the actual in-game features. They are created for advertising purposes only, not for informing potential players about the game features, mechanics and gameplay.
