"Guantanamo Bay Naval Base". I figured I'd reply here. | |||
I don't think so. Counterintuitively the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] calls the base "Naval Base Guantanamo Bay". I don't think we are stuck using their name. But I figured we should have a good reason to use a different name, beyond it looks wrong. And I couldn't think of one. | |||
