Few sights inspired more pride than USS America (CV-66) at sea—her flight deck alive with aircraft, her hull cutting through blue water at flank speed. Commissioned January 23, 1965, at Newport News Shipbuilding, she spent 31 years as one of the most deployable, most capable carriers in the U.S. Navy. From Vietnam to Desert Storm, from Cold War deterrence in the Mediterranean to peacekeeping operations in the Adriatic, USS America earned her reputation as "Big Dog" of the Atlantic Fleet. This framed photograph captures her in her element: a floating fortress and a symbol of American resolve, preserved for those who served on her and the families who never forgot.
