Aviation Ordinanceman 1st Class Christopher Rivera, assigned to future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), paints a wall at the Immaculate Conception School in Callao, Peru. Sailors, Marines and Peruvian sailors worked together to paint the school and refurbished the lawn as part of a community relations project during a scheduled port visit. America is currently traveling through the Southern Command and 4th Fleet area of responsibility on its maiden transit, "America Visits the Americas." 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. ( Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Huey D.
