Which two-letter rating abbreviation stands for Aviation Electrician's Mate?

Aviation Electrician's Mate is abbreviated by using the initials of the rating name itself. So the two-letter code AE comes from “Aviation” and “Electrician’s Mate.” AEs maintain and troubleshoot the electrical systems of Navy aircraft, including power generation, wiring, circuits, and related components, ensuring aircraft have reliable electrical power and avionics support. The other two-letter codes refer to different ratings—AB is Aviation Boatswain's Mate, AT is Aviation Electronics Technician, and AD is Aviation Machinist's Mate—so they describe distinct specialties rather than the Electrical side of aviation.
