USS America (LHA-6) is the lead ship of the America class of amphibious assault ships, commissioned on October 11, 2014. Built for the 21st century fight, she combines aviation-centric amphibious assault with the flexibility of the Marine Corps' evolving force concepts, operating F-35B Lightning IIs and MV-22 Ospreys from her flight deck. Homeported in San Diego and deployed across the Western Pacific, she carries one of the most storied names in U.S. Navy history into a new era. This framed photo captures USS America at sea — a fitting tribute to everyone who has served aboard her.
