Naval response indicating that an order has been received, is understood, and will be carried out immediately; as in "I understand and I will comply". In operational situations, this is usually shortened to simply "aye." In constrast to "Aye Aye sir," a response of "Yes Sir" usually indicates that the person understands but is contemplating performing the ordered task at a later time or date. Ships Captain: "Lieutenant, I need those reports by 1400hrs." Executive Officer: "Aye aye sir."

Officer of the Deck: "Helm, make your course 149." Helmsman "Making course 149, aye."
