Difference between Aircraft carrier and Naval aviation

Aircraft carrier vs. Naval aviation

An aircraft carrier is a warship that serves as a seagoing airbase, equipped with a full-length flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft. Naval aviation is the application of military air power by navies, whether from warships that embark aircraft, or land bases.
