Crew members aboard Military Sealift Command (MSC) fleet replenishment oiler USNS Yukon (T-AO 202) send a fuel probe to future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) during the ship’s first underway replenishment (UNREP). 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 Franci
