Somehow I missed this back in 2013: 'Our wives and sweethearts' Naval toast rewritten:
Naval officers will no longer raise their glasses to "Our wives and sweethearts" - typically met with the unofficial reply "May they never meet".
Instead, they will say "Our families", following an instruction by the Second Sea Lord Vice- Admiral David Steel.
