    USS America (LHA 6)   

    Members of the Brazilian Marine Corps, Sailors assigned to the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) and Marines from embarked Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force South conduct a planning meeting on board America. 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 John Scorza/Released)
