Needed? Surely "aye aye" suffices. The capitalisation is redundant, too. Otherwise we might also want "yes sir", "no ma'am", "maybe Your Majesty", etc (OK, I exaggerate a bit). — Paul G 16:57, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Well, according to the "Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea", it is an official Royal Naval phrase, with capitalisation, distinct from Aye Aye, which is the response to a hail. SemperBlotto 17:05, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Could you update the article to this effect, Jeff? — Paul G 09:59, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- So updated. SemperBlotto 10:32, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Not a dictionary term[edit]
This is a sentence, not a dictionary term. A comment at aye would more than suffice. Paul makes a good point above. Eric (talk) 14:11, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
