Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Virginia Fisher, assigned to the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), sautés mushrooms for the ship’s omelet bar in preparation for the crew’s breakfast. America’s food service team begins preparing breakfast at midnight to feed the crew of more than 1,400 Sailors and Marines. 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 2nd Class Ryan Riley/Released)
