Gail Shaw was right in the first place...it's proton, not photon
torpedo. It's mentioned in the scene where the rebels are briefed
before attacking the Deathstar in A New Hope. Also, although the
movie doesn't say, I'd guess that proton torpedoes are what's being
dropped on the asteroid in The Empire Strikes Back to fish out the 
Millenium Falcon.

So it's: pRoton for Star Wars
and:     pHoton for Star Trek

Aah the important things in life! ;-)
