The biggest difference between the AF and a Naval Air is that Air Force provides a greater haevy lifting capacity to support a forward position or occupation of a established base. Heavy lifting meaning greater bomb pay loads and greater logistical support. However Navy and Marine air wings are setup to be on the offensive, move fast and establish a beach head or forward position. This does not require huge aircraft. But dont be fooled every Expeditionary force (supported by a carrier group) carries enough men and supplies to sustain a prolong compaign.
Eventual the Air Force and Army are needed for occupation and logistics.
I could go on, I hope this helps.
