USS America (LHA 6)   

CORAL SEA (July 21, 2023) Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 3rd Class Donald Elliot, from Kansas City, Missouri, assigned to the forward-deployed amphibious assault carrier USS America (LHA 6), signals the completion of chocks and chains on an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Air Combat Element as part of Exercise Talisman Sabre, July 21. America, lead ship of the America Amphibious Ready Group, is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. U.S. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region. Talisman Sabre is the largest bilateral military exercise between Australia and the United States advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific by strengthening relationships and interoperability among key allies and enhancing our collective capabilities to respond to a wide array of potential security concerns.
