U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Conor Holladay, assigned to Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force South, explains Marine improvised explosive device detection capabilities to Brazilian Navy Vice Adm. Alipio Jorge, director, Weapons Systems Command, during a tour on board the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6). 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 Jonathan A. Colon/Released)
