Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Kelvin Harvey, right, connects the shot line to the phone and distance line aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) during the ship’s first underway replenishment (UNREP). The UNREP was conducted with Military Sealift Command (MSC) fleet replenishment oiler USNS Yukon (T-AO 202). 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 Vladimir Ramos/Released)
