Um, that should be, "aye, aye," the common naval response of compliance to orders given, perhaps originating from British Parliament's, "aye," indicating an affirmative vote. Not to be confused with the nocturnal, tree-dwelling lemur native to Madagascar, the aye-aye.

IIRC, my dad, an ex-Navy LTCDR, told me that the single "aye" means "yes", and the double "aye aye" means something like, "yes (I acknowledge) and am responding", e.g. as a response to an order.

In perfect alignment!
A reviewer once criticized a short story I wrote because one of my characters, a Marine, used the term. The reviewer's exact words were, "That's a nautical term. No Marine would say that." She is now substantially clearer on the relationship between the Marine Corps and the Navy, to say the least.
