Chief Fire Controlman Emiliano Martinez, center, and Fire Controlman 3rd Class Jessie Virga, right, both assigned to future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), upload dummy ammunition into a close-in weapon system while downloading live ammunition during a practice ammunition handling evolution aboard the ship. 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)
