Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus speaks with Marines and Sailors with the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) and Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force South during an ice cream social held in the hero's cafe aboard the ship, Aug. 19, 2014. Mabus sat with the Marines and Sailors to allow for topics of interest to be discussed on a personal level. In addition to the ice cream social, Mabus toured the ship and held an all-hands meeting to address the Marines and Sailors. Visits like this remind the Marines and Sailors with America and the SPMAGTF of the significance of the work they are doing. SPMAGTF-South is embarked aboard America in support of her maiden transit, "America Visits the Americas." Through partner-nation activities, theater security events and key leader engagements, the transit aims to demonstrate the flexibility, utility and unparalleled expeditionary capability the Navy-Marine Corps team provides our nation and partners.
