Dear brain: you are writing your first Ellen OOM in a dog's age

nobody cares whether the hypothetical Coast Guard research vessel you are using to get her to the Commonwealth without a string of overland adventures has a historically appropriate name or not

either name the thing after a shark or call it the Arthur Fiedler and say he was a war hero in that world

seriously, no one cares

I so get this conundrum.

I got lucky in the end when I randomly clicked on a name on the Wiki page with the list of Coast Guard ship names. Turns out the guy in charge of the rescue operation that they made into the movie The Finest Hours a) is considered one of the Coast Guard's highest heroes b) was from Massachusetts c) has had at least two Coast Guard ships so far named after him in the real world. So I figured, hey, the Fallout universe just kept naming ships after him. It's all good.
