Ship's Serviceman 1st Class Gregnita Franks, assigned to the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), leads Chief Petty Officer (CPO) 365 physical training in the ship’s hangar bay. CPO 365 is a year-round training initiative that chiefs messes throughout the Navy take on to prepare first class petty officers to become chiefs. 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)
