In reality nothing. But technically a naval station is on the water with ships, but a navy base is any navy base. Including a naval air station which can be anywhere but specialized in air based defense.

I won't address the naval station/naval base question, but I do want to comment on what is a Naval Air Station.
There are two types of Naval Air bases: an air station and an air facility.
A Naval Air Station is a base where at least one squadron is permanently based.
A Naval Air Facility is a base idential to a station except there are no squadrons permanently based.
Examples: Naval Air Station Jacksonville. P-3 squadrons based there.
Naval Air Facility Misawa Japan. P-3 squadrons deployed there for 6 month rotations.
The term Naval Air Base is not formally used, just the two I noted above. I've never even heard an NAS or NAF called base informally by Sailors.
