I was thinking about that - the Sulaco not being a WY ship - and I couldn't confirm it. It does seem plausible and in step with themes that WY would be a monopoly that makes military ships and weapons/bioweapons, and the ship is full of WY logos on things. Is there some resource that anyone knows of to confirm this? I found blueprints of the Sulaco with WY logos and the like...
But I suppose you could argue that it would most likely be ID'd in conversation as a "military" or "marine ship," but this could also depend on how the beacon was broadcasting, possibly.
It's also a draft/audition and this is obviously just speculation for entertainment purposes.
I would love it however, if the film took place on board the Sulaco and its was a midquel. A series of midquels has been my pitch for how to repair this franchise for a long time. It's also never been done before as a series, and makes for a nice new buzzword.
As a side note, I'd just like to add that I hope that one actor whose audition hasn't been removed, doesn't get the part. No offense, I'm sure he is a nice person.
