Actually, it’s port. During the initial couple of seconds the ship heels in the direction of the turn, but then shifts to the opposite side of the turn.
On the bridge we notify all stations ‘Turn to Port’ and they announce locally ‘Heel to Starboard’ for the folks driving the yellow gear and working on aircraft.

Would that not cause a tilt in the other direction?
