I'm pretty sure folksel is the nautical term, and focsul is a term for personal entrenchment.

Focsul is short for forecastle, or the forward part of the ship near the bow.

fore·cas·tle    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (fksl, fôrksl, fr-) also fo'c's'le (fksl)
n.
The section of the upper deck of a ship located at the bow forward of the foremast.

No entry found for focsul.

I guess I was wrong on what the personal tactical entrenchment (PTE) is called.

And I'll have to more blatant with my humor.

The smoking lamp on modern ships, is wherever they decide to let you smoke at the time.

on submarines it is in a tiny room right next to the oxygen scrubbers. (not joking, heard this from a guy who was on boomers for 5 years and is now on fast attack subs).
