Lt. Cmdr. Samuel Peterson, hangar deck officer aboard amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), observes an aircraft firefighting simulation in the ship’s hangar deck during a general quarters drill. The crew practices various drills to improve proficiency, ensuring they are ready for any emergency. America is the first ship of its class and the fourth to bear the name. It replaces the Tarawa-class of amphibious assault ship as the next generation “big-deck” amphibious assault ship and is optimized for aviation and capable of supporting current and future aircraft such as the MV-22 Osprey and F-35B Joint Strike Fighter.
