File:Brazilian helicopters conduct deck landing qualifications aboard PCU America 140804-N-LQ799-155.jpg
Summary
A Brazilian S-70B Seahawk helicopter prepares to land aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) during deck landing qualifications (DLQs) as part of a training partnership between the Brazilian and U.S. navies. America is currently traveling through the U.S. Southern Command and U.S. 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. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Lewis Hunsaker/Released)
