Intelligence Specialist 3rd Class Justin Steward, assigned to future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), shoots photographs to identify any oncoming vessels of interest during a ships nautical or otherwise photographic interpretation (SNOOPIE) team training evolution. 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 2nd Class Jonathan A. Colon/Released)
