Do we pronounce it "All-mayor" or "Ale-mire", or "Ale-mayor" or "All-mire"?

USS Prometheus is my vote. It's a good nod towards the origin of the Alien's lore.

I agree with maintaining the Aliens naming system, and that we get a new name- +1 to Almayer or another allusion to Conrad. It's just right.

People, it's a ship. It should have a female name by all means. Sully works just fine as it is.

I'm neutral tbh. I wouldn't mind a name change or keeping the name. I'd say we could have a different name change since the Sulaco is a lot different than in CM

If you want a real name, USS Europa could work.
I'm actually totally chill with the USS Cheeseburger Freedom.

I feel like tomorrow (or any time it's deemed there are enough suggestions) a poll should be put up instead of having to look through several pages of posts to get a consensus.

Other Conrad derived names:

The USS Sigg
The USS MacWhirr
The USS Victory (hah...)
The USS Heyst
The USS Lingard

USS Kirishima

Because if we're still following the lore of "WY made this" then they'd name it something Japanese. Of course, the USCM would rename the ship.

Well if the lore isn't imperative, Killing Time from the culture series would fit in quite well. 99% of a round is just killing time, until it's actually killing time. It'll never happen, but a man can dream right?

While Ayylmao made my laugh...alot.

I am of a mind to keep it the Sully, just for the fact it will always be the Sully.

Though on a serious note I liked N's Suggestion.

I like Alma-air, because of the alma root, meaning nourishing/kind. Like the ship is the lifeline for the marines, it nourishes them, and when it's lost, they can't survive.
