The terms "stern" and "aft" both refer to the rear part of a ship or boat, but they have different meanings. "Stern" specifically denotes the back end of the vessel, including its structure and design features. In contrast, "aft" is an adverb that describes a position or direction towards the stern from any point on the ship. For example, moving aft means moving towards the rear, while the stern is the actual physical location at the back of the vessel.
