What Does AE Stand For?
AE stands for Ammunition Ship Underway Replenishment
AE, or Ammunition Ship Underway Replenishment, refers to the operation of transferring munitions and ordnance to naval vessels while they are at sea. This logistical maneuver enables ships to maintain their combat readiness and sustain prolonged missions without returning to port for resupply. The AE operation is a critical component of naval warfare strategies, ensuring that fleets can remain operational in various maritime environments.
