naval pilots
Carrier deck aviators
Naval pilots are military aviators who fly aircraft for a navy, typically operating from aircraft carriers or naval air stations.
The term distinguishes them from air force pilots, who serve in a separate branch.
Carrier-based naval pilots must master the specialized skill of landing on a moving ship at sea: Naval pilots train extensively for night carrier landings.
