Sailors assigned to future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) record and report distances to the bridge as the ship pulls alongside Military Sealift Command (MSC) fleet replenishment oiler USNS Yukon (T-AO 202) during a scheduled underway replenishment-at-sea (RAS). 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 3rd Class Huey D. Younger Jr./Released)
