"Aft" is not a specific PART of a ship, but rather a direction. Instead of north-south-east-west, directions on board ship are given as fore and aft, port and starboard.

If not sure, RED, PORT, LEFT few letters. GREEN, STARBOARD, RIGHT, more letters. All names only applied when facing bow from aft.
