Some airbases have dispersed aircraft parking, [[Revetment (aircraft)|revetment]]s, [[hardened aircraft shelter]]s, or even [[underground hangar]]s, to protect aircraft from enemy attack. [[Combat aircraft]] require secure protected storage of [[aircraft ordnance]] and munitions.

All military airbases will have buildings for [[military administration]] (station headquarters, squadron briefing and operations), and larger bases will also include medical and dental facilities for military personnel (and sometimes their dependents), along with dining ([[mess]], informally known as the 'cook house'), accommodation (single living accommodation for [[junior ranks]], Sergeants' and Officers' Mess for senior non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers), recreational facilities (club house for socialising), shopping facilities ([[NAAFI]] shops, base exchange, commissary), and sports facilities (gymnasium, swimming pool, sports pitches). An airbase may be defended by [[anti-aircraft weapon]]s and [[force protection]] troops. |

An [[aircraft carrier]] is a type of [[naval ship]] which serves as a seaborne airbase, the development of which has greatly enhanced the capabilities of modern [[air force]]s and [[naval aviation]]. In many countries, they are now a key part of the military, allowing for their military aircraft to be staged much nearer the area of conflict. Aircraft carriers were vital to the [[United States of America|United States]] during [[World War II |
An [[aircraft carrier]] is a type of [[naval ship]] which serves as a seaborne airbase, the development of which has greatly enhanced the capabilities of modern [[air force]]s and [[naval aviation]]. In many countries, they are now a key part of the military, allowing for their military aircraft to be staged much nearer the area of conflict. Aircraft carriers were vital to the [[United States of America|United States]] during [[World War II]], and to the [[United Kingdom]] in the 1982 [[Falklands War]]. They retain modern roles as well as "several acres of sovereign territory a nation can move about at will", which allows greater flexibility in diplomacy as well as military affairs. Aircraft carriers may also used in disaster relief. |
