"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. Aft would refer to "toward the rear of the ship". Fore is forward, port is toward the left side, and starboard is toward the right side.
