A U.S. Navy MH-60S with the Blackjacks of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 21 takes off from the flight deck of the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) carrying a Force Reconnaissance Marine with Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force South during a helicopter visit, board, search and seizure drill, July 26, 2014. The drill simulates a two helicopter operation, with Marines fast roping down from one helicopter while a different Marine with a M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System provides cover from a second helicopter. America is the first of the America-class amphibious assault ships, which represents the Navy-Marine Corps' emphasis on increasing the aviation capacity of future big-deck amphibious assault ships. The ship is scheduled to be commissioned in San Francisco, Oct. 11. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Christopher J. Moore/Released)
