The Navy has developed a whole language of its own over the centuries. Typically someone that has been given an order will respond with Aye, Sir! or Aye Aye, Sir! The single Aye is normally used with a repeated order, such as "Aye, Sir! Coming to heading 240, Sir!" where is Aye aye is used independent of anything else. A commanding officer, and only the commanding officer, can reply, Wilco! Which is short for "Will Comply."
