Go to Ship Selector, press the pencil thingy next to the name, then choose which prefix you want.
It's not there, though. That's what I'm saying. USS is hardwired into the ship rename part with the pencil. I wish I could screen shot it for you, but screenies seem to ignore ui.
This has been an issue for a while and I cannot use the ISS prefix on anything but pure mirror ships. Granted, its been a while since I tried that, but to my knowledge, the only thing you can get is the mirror material, not the prefix

(That makes no sense btw).
Huh, that could be it. Oversight by Cryptic or bug?

Yeah it has to be an actual mirror ship. It can't be the normal Sov with a mirror skin stuck on it.

Huh. Well, that's probably it. I actually did have the mirror sov at one time, but I traded up to a fleet sovereign for it's far better boff setup. It's very odd that all sovereigns have the mirror skin, but only one can use the mirror registry. Oh well.
It has to actually be the Mirror Star Cruiser to use the ISS prefix. Even though the mirror skin will work on any Sovereign class or assault cruiser varient if you have a Mirror Starcruiser, the prefix is ship specific. It's the same for all mirror ships.
I think you're right and it is a bug, because I wasn't able to put the ISS prefix on my brand new mirror Cheyenne.
Hm. That complicates matters. If you can't even use your ISS registry on a full blown mirror ship bought off the exchange then it's definitely bugged on that end, and possibly bugged on the fleet ship end that also have the skin, but not the registry. Or, the latter could be working as intended and fleet ships with the mirror costume really are meant to be lacking the ISS registry option despite having the mirror colors. It's hard to say because there's at least one bug at play here. Personally I hope it is a bug and it was intended for my superior fleet sovereign to have the ISS prefix. But if not, then I will just have to hope Cryptic sells it some day like they already do with the NX prefix on the C Store.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that has figured this out. Remove U.S.S. altogether and set your ship prefix to "None" then manually type in I.S.S. whatever. You lose some characters to enter your name but it works on ANY ship.
When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

This doesn't work on normal fed ships, only alien ships.

After which you will slaughter the Alien scum in the name of the Empire!

I think this is the case as well.
You ain't mirror! Where's your beard!?!?
Shaved to fool the smooth chins.
The Mirror Prommie, allowed me to use both I.S.S. and U.S.S. It also came with the Mirror skin.
When I upgraded to my Fleet Prommie, she could still use the Mirror skin, but sadly I could not use the I.S.S. Prefix with her
I was very sad when I had to drop my Mirror Image...

You must just not be looking close enough.

That is how I mitigated the sorry lack of an Orion escort for my KDF character.
I greened up a Risian Corvete, set its prefix to none, and named her the O.S.S. Concubine.
She actually looks Orion enough that way. Maybe I'll get a real Orion tactical ship someday, but until then I'm covered.

wih the way KDF ships are right now... the flight deck Cruisers are the only playable orion hsips you'll get.
OT - I think the prefix only appears for the mirror version, but the colour scheme is unlocked for all of them.
