is hooyah dead?

So Halo Wars 2s big morale boost cutscene (that I actually quite enjoy) at the start of the game when Isabel is expositioning Atriox has the Sailors of the Spirit of Fire (according to the subtitles) crying ‘Oorah’ a quite specifically Marine chant that wasn’t from my understanding adopted by the Navy (which adopted Hooyah while the Army adopted Hooah). So, does this mean that the term has died in the UNSC Navy?

Doubt it. My guess is that they’re replacement crew for the most part, drawn from the Spirits Marine compliment and they brought their chant with them.

If it had to rationalize it, it’s porbably because the spirit of fire’s crew is an assault ship, having more contact with Marines and, as such, has adopted some of their culture.
