"Fore and aft" -> Mặt trước và sau của cái gì đó hoặc suốt chiều dài của một chiếc tàu.

Ví dụ
These ships displaced about 15,000 tons, with two heavy guns each in turrets fore and aft, and steel armor (bọc thép).

Wind noise was minimal at high speed and all we noticed was the sound of turbulence (sự bất an) at the top left and right sides of the visor. Since there is no provision for adjustment of the visor position fore-and-aft to improve the seal over the viewport, we had to live with the noise, though it was not loud to the point of being more than an annoyance.

The first effort at a hybrid (lai chủng) carrier hit the water in 1918. The Royal Navy, at a loss with what to do with the large, fast, but nearly useless HMS Furious, decided to convert her into a combination aviation warship (tàu chiến). Initially intended to carry two 18” guns in single turrets (tháp pháo), fore and aft, Furious was modified during construction to carry seaplanes (thủy phi cơ), necessitating the removal of the forward turret. Early trials indicated some prospect for the launching and landing of conventional aircraft, although such tests often proved fatal to aviators. Eventually, the aft turret was also removed, offering a more suitable arrangement and allowing Furious, along with several conventional aircraft, to engage in precursors (điềm báo trước) to the great carrier raids (cuộc đột kích) of World War II.
