I voted other...Python Leviathan.
I love that name, it was suggested to me last night and I really like it. Its very fitting. It has me face palming that I didnt think of it myself.

Ooo, I second "Leviathan"! Here's a bit of the creature's description from Job 41:
18 His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.
22 Strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him.
23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
24 His chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
25 When he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing.
26 The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
27 Iron he treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.
28 Arrows do not make him flee, slingstones are like chaff to him.
29 A club seems to him but a piece of straw, he laughs at the rattling of the lance.
30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing-sledge.
31 He makes the depths churn like a boiling cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 Behind him he leaves a glistening wake; one would think the deep had white hair.
33 Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature without fear.
34 He looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud.
Yeah, I found these verses too, very cool. LEVIATHAN is definitely a strong contender in my mind for this carrier.

My first thought is that I don't like the structure of any of these names. If you look at all of the Python Patrol Vehicles done previously, whatever "X" vehicle once pythonized, becomes Python "X". So this would become a Python "USS Flagg". I agree that that name just doesn't work. I think the name structure would work better if you structured it like the file card Code Name; PMS.
So this would be:
Cobra Anaconda; Python Carrier, or C.S.S. Anaconda; Python Aircraft Carrier. something along these lines.
Yeah, I realized this and I kind of agree, to stick true to the naming for Python Patrol the original name would need to be kept. But I have also thought of two other things. The first is that I have a bit of a back story in mind for this carrier. The idea came from someone else that this ship was meant to be the sister ship to the FLAGG and upon completion Cobra stole it. So it was never the FLAGG to begin with, it had a different name and Cobra renamed it to their liking and that leads into the second thought that Cobra had a carrier straight up, what would it be called? Cobra Anaconda, Cobra Leviathan, Cobra Sea Dragon, etc?? That actually had me thinking I need to paint ANOTHER FLAGG in pure Cobra colors to give that name. And now the Pythonized version will carry the same surname I guess.
