U.S. and Colombian government diplomats and military leaders speak to the media during a press conference aboard the flight deck of the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) in Cartagena, Colombia, July 17, 2014. Cartagena was the first stop made by America on her maiden transit, "America visits the Americas." America is operating in the U.S. Southern Command and U.S. 4th Fleet area of responsibility around South America. Through partner-nation activities, key leader engagements and security cooperation activities, the visit aims at further strengthening our partnership in the region, increasing interoperability and building mutual trust between the U.S. and Colombia. America is the first ship of its class, replacing the Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships. As the next generation "big-deck" amphibious assault ship, America is optimized for aviation, capable of supporting current and future aircraft such as the MV-22 Osprey and F-35B Joint strike fighter. The ship is scheduled to be ceremoniously commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Cpl. Donald Holbert/ Released)
