PACIFIC OCEAN (April 11, 2017) Seaman Jesse Reum, from Muncie, Ind., assigned to the deck department aboard the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), requests more line as he heaves the line attached to a gypsy winch during a replenishment-at-sea with the fleet replenishment oiler USNS Guadalupe (T-AO 200) off the coast of Southern California. America is underway with more than 1,000 Sailors and 1,600 Marines conducting amphibious squadron and Marine expeditionary unit integration operations in preparation for the ship's first operational deployment later this year.
