Now that littoral combat ships are getting named, launching, deploying and being celebrated at baseball games, it&#8217;s time to get used to the word &#8220;littoral.&#8221; It&#8217;s pronounced &#8220;literal,&#8221; not &#8220;lit-TOR-al.&#8221; So the next time you [...]]]></description>

Thursday morning, the popular-yet-normally-benign Facebook page for the U.S. Navy was hit by cyber activists demanding that a certain body of water be referred to as the &#8220;Persian Gulf.&#8221; The Navy, as you know, calls it the &#8220;Arabian Gulf,&#8221; although not always.
