How many sides does a ship have?
* A ship has a port side which is on the left when facing forward or toward the bow. * The bow is not a side of the ship. It is only forward or the bow. * A ship has a starboard side which is on the right when facing forward or toward the bow. No matter which side, Port or Starboard, your backside faces the ship's stern, not the ship's backside. * The stern is not a side of the ship. It is only the stern or aft. Aft exists only because it follows for as in forward and aft as in after. * There is a topside. You may go topside. You do not outside, you go on deck. * There is no bottomside however you may go below, or even below deck. * In the galley you do not ask for and will not receive a side of anything. You will take what Cookie gives you.
What part is aft of the ship?
"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.
