    USS America (LHA 6)   

    Engineman 2nd Class Joseph Lawhorn, right, assigned to future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), trains Gas Turbine System Technician (Electrical) 3rd Class Adam Mulherin on the procedures required in testing a potable water sample from the Electrolytic Disinfectant Generator in main machinery room one. 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)
