    USS America (LHA 6)   

    Gas Turbine System Technician (Mechanical) 2nd Class Crystal Campbell, left, and Engineman 1st Class Clark St. Jean, both assigned to the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), review the engineering operational sequencing systems (EOSS) manual prior to verifying the alignment of controllable pitch propellers in machinery room one. America is currently traveling through the U.S. Southern Command and U.S. 4th Fleet area of responsibility on her maiden transit, "America visits the Americas." America is the first ship of its class, replacing the Tarawa-class of 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. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Vladimir Ramos/Released)
