No nukes: Who wins if the Air Force and Navy were to fight each other?

All out battle between the 2 but no nukes allowed.
ETA: Been asked to say if this scenario includes Marines. I was not including Marines in my hypothetical, there is some debate in the thread if they are actually part of the Navy.

Air Force wins since they can hit the navy, but the navy can’t hit their inland bases.

Seriously? The Navy also has the Marine Corps.

Navy - top of the line fighter pilots and jets
Navy - Marines
Navy - Seals
Navy - Boats
Navy - Sailors
Air Force - Pilots and Jets
Advantage Navy

I am guessing that the OP is only referring to Planes vs. Boats?

Navy airplanes don’t have near the range that airforce planes do.

The fact the air force bases are stationary puts them at a big disadvantage, imo. Take out the runways and the AF is fricked.

The Navy, and it isn't even close. First, the Navy stays far offshore and sends the subs in with those nifty Tomahawks to decimate the AFBs and the Air Force's command and control structure within 1000 miles of the beach.
Then they move the carriers closer to the beach once it's safe and send the Marines in to hop from AFB to AFB. They wait until the Air Force takes its ice cream break, and then kill anyone to death that the Tomahawks didn't get. The air wings provide high cover from carrier ops. Then the Seabees come behind to repair the runways.
Finally, the Navy can send their air wings onshore once it's safe to land to continue to provide CAS for the Marines as they march inland.
Sure, the Air Force has some high-tech planes that are going to kill a lot of Navy boys and their aircraft, but once things like the F-22 are on their own without CAC structure/JWACS, etc. to support it, it is useless.
The United States Navy as a whole is the single greatest killing force this planet has ever devised.
There's a reason the president wants to know where the carrier groups are and doesn't ask "Where's the Air Force on leave at?" when shite hits the fan.

My brother is a fighter pilot with the Air Force. He went to Miramar for exercises. I still enjoy looking at his cockpit tape of his 3-0 engagements.

Navy duh. Ssbn

the navy has more fighters than the air force. moblie platforms to launch from. more missles. more types of missles. the marine corps. naval special warfare.
what kind of question is this?
the air force probably has the more squared away secretaries, cooks and mechanics. pssh. that's about it.

In Viet Nam when air supports was called: the AF came in at 20k feet, the Navy flew at tree top level. The Marines flew between the tree branches.
