I've heard recently that "starboard and port" are being phased out in alot of nautical areas in favor of "left and right" simply because alot of people don't know what they are.
But Starboard/port is NOT the same as right/left! I.e. if you stand on the deck of a ship and look towards the stern, then the port side of the ship is to your right... |
