Italian term or phrase: AEREI NAVALI E IMBARCATI
Non ho mai visto finora "imbarcato" usato in questa maniera. Sarebbe 'imbarcazione'? Che ne dite?

marine and shipborne aircraft
Explanation:
imbarcato, according to Eurodicautum, means shipborne. I take it to mean planes used on oceanic aircraft carriers.

shipborne (or: Hangar deck borne) seaplanes


Explanation:
I presume we're talking about seaplanes meant for hangar decks ( that's the only kind of ship that can take planes I can think of). Context should indicate if this is the case. Also I'd go for seaplane, which has an enormous number of google hits

shipborne aircrafts


Explanation:
Io direi solo così. Se si parla di aerei moderni, sono appositamente costruiti per stare sulle navi, Il termine navale ha poco senso, visto che sono a bordo delle navi.

  -> You are perfectly right... sometimes we forget that some words do not take the "S" (information is one of them)
neutral  Heathcliff: Agreeing with thallassia, and noting that "aircraft" NEVER takes the plural!

carrier aircraft


Explanation:
Without the full context (i.e. is it military?), you cannot be exact, but...Only aircraft carriers have aeroplanes on them (more than one), and in this instance I take navale to mean naval rather than marine or sea. Imbarcati means they are on the ship and not on land, where they could also operate.
