Logistics Specialist 2nd Class CaSaundra Montgomery, assigned to future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), prepares to distribute mail during mail call in the hangar bay shortly after the ship moored in Valparaiso, Chile for a scheduled port visit. The crew expects to load more than 1,600 pounds of mail prior to their port visit departure. America is currently traveling through the Southern Command and 4th Fleet area of responsibility on her 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.
