Re: Rename Sulaco To Original Name
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.
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)
