    USS America (LHA 6)   

    Capt. Robert A. Hall Jr, commanding officer of the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), presents command ball caps to naval officers and marines from the Marinha do Brasil, Aug. 1. The Brazilian naval officers and marines will spend the next few days aboard America working alongside U.S. naval officers. 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 Jason M. Graham/Released)
