Actually yes.
You see, it depends on the class on the ship rather then the country, so instead of "BRS" (similar to "USS") the prefix will say what kind of ship it is.
SO for example, the aircraft carrier of brazil is not "BRS São Paulo", but "NAe São Paulo", "NAe" stading for "Navio-Aeódromo" or "airport ship". And so goes on, Frigates are "F" so every frigate will have an F on the front, e.g: "F Liberal", Coverttes will be "Cv", e.g: Cv Barroso and so on.

Why are we discussing this again?

USS Almayer sounds great.

If we want to be SUPER LORE FRIENDLY, we can be the USS Marlow, as that's one of the Bougainville Attack Transports, a class of ship that replaced the old Conestogas, like the Sulaco.

I think following the Conrad theme would be pretty cool.

USS Almayer gets my vote.

We should totally have an ingame event where the Marines lose the Sully and get the new ship.

Will there will be vote so we can decide that the best name is USS Heart of Darkness?

But seriously, will apop set a poll with his selection of best names? So we can choose USS Inheritors as best name?

USS CORN

MAKE USCM GREAT AGAIN

(Only corn-based foods on vendors)
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

What if we call him USS Daedalus?
"In 100 years more we will be a story.In 200 years an epic period.In 500 years a medieval tale.

Everyone get back onto the Feweh!

It does need a name change though.

USS Halberd
USS Hammer of Retribution
USS Creeping Light
USS Patriot
USS Einstein
USS Pheonix
USS Gregory
USS Perdition of Night
USS Yusef
USS Shining Sun
USS Mjolnir
USS Distant Star

Just a short list off the top of my head but I could go on and on and on.

Know this is a necro post but I made a thread about this issue over a year ago: viewtopic.php?f=86&t=3151#p28610

To summarise.

In the Aliens (versus Predator) lore, most USCM ships are named after a concept or location in one of Joseph Conrad novels.

I felt then, and now that a good and original name to use would be...

USS Inheritor.

Based off of the novel of the same name.

I had been thinking about this myself as of late... What ever DID happen to that new ship anywho? Is it another project lost in limbo?

Artouris is probably slaving over it at this very moment, I'd check the gulag to be sure but it's dark in there and somebody might close the door on me if I walk inside it.
