Nah. USMC landing ships are traditionally islands or regions Marines took. Some possible names;

Khe Sahn
Fallujah
Helmhand
Ramadi
Tehran
Pyonyang
Caracas

For the USCM:

Tau Ceti
Ursa Majoris
Proxima Centauri

Drawing a bit from scifi, could I interest you in:

Joseph Haldeman
Charon
Epsilon Aurigae
William H. Mandella ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forever_War and for what its worth Ridley Scott will be doing a film on this book soon.)

Robert A. Heinlein
Valley Forge

Nah. USMC ships are named traditionally after terms from books from Conrad's novels. For example;

USS Sulaco - Named after a fictional town called Sulaco in a novel called 'Nostromo'. (Aliens)
USCSS Patna - Named after a ship called the SS Patna in the novelization of the book Lord Jim. (Aliens 3)
USS Verloc - Named after a character called Adolf Verloc from the novel 'The Secret Agent'. (Aliens Versus Predator 2 Game)
USS Marlow - Named after a character called Charles Marlow who is a recurring character in Conrad's novels. (Aliens Vs Predator 2010 Game)
USS Sephora - Named after a ship called the Sephora from the novel 'The Secret Sharer'. (Aliens: Colonial Marines)

Hence why I asked we go with the name the USS Inheritor which comes from one of Conrad's novels.
This is war, survival is your responsibility.

Alan Bentway: Marine
Kwei Ikthya-de: Predator

Resolved.

There has been discussion about this, but I like the name of Sulaco...
