    USS America (LHA 6)   

    Capt. Robert A. Hall Jr., right, commanding officer of future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), speaks with the U.S. Embassy’s defense attaché in Chile, Captain Reginald Baker, during a reception for Chilean dignitaries, military officials and distinguished guests in the ship’s hangar bay as part of a scheduled port visit to Valparaiso, Chile. 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 Lewis Hunsaker/Released)
