naval air station
Fleet aircraft base
A naval air station is a military airfield operated by a navy, serving as a base for naval aviation operations.
These facilities support aircraft that conduct maritime patrol, carrier training, and coastal defense.
Unlike army or air force bases, naval air stations typically include facilities for amphibious aircraft and proximity to water: Naval Air Station Pensacola is known as the cradle of naval aviation.
