Lt. j.g. Juan C. Benavides, center, assigned to the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), is promoted from Ensign to Lt. j.g. in front of the Christ the Redeemer statue during a scheduled port visit. 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 Lt. Dawn Stankus/Released)
