Lt. Cmdr. Bryan Cable, navigation officer on board amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), prepares to set the first watch at the ship’s commissioning ceremony. America is the first ship of its class and the fourth to bear the name. She replaces the Tarawa-class of amphibious assault ship as the next generation “big-deck” amphibious assault ship and is optimized for aviation and capable of supporting current and future aircraft such as the MV-22 Osprey and F-35B Joint Strike Fighter.
