Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Close-in Weapon System (CIWS) aboard future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) fires during a planned maintenance system check to calibrate the CIWS radars to its gun. CIWS is the ship’s last defense against missiles, aircraft and small boats. America is currently traveling through the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of responsibility on her maiden transit, “America Visits the Americas”. America is currently on her maiden transit, "America Visits the Americas," en route to her homeport of San Diego. 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) |
