I was asked whether this article shouldn't have been named
"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.
