    Aye Aye

    Thanks a lot Pat, I would never have figured it out on my own.

    But Aye Aye, what does it literally mean?
    It doesn't translate with any word, is there a synonym in English?
    Was it an actual response to the command or is it just cinematic?
    If it was a real response, is it still used today or has it fallen into disuse? What response has it been replaced by today?

    Greetings to all ship modelers.

    As I said, at Nick's suggestion, I re-watched the entire Hornblower series (there are eight episodes in all, can you confirm?).

    I still have a strong curiosity that I have not been able to resolve on my own.
    I hope Nick, Pat and the others can help me.
    What exactly do officers and crew members say in English when they answer affirmatively and confirm an order from a superior?

    They are two very short words.

    How about 'Operation Petticoat'?
    Tony Curtis was brilliant.
