NPS Alumni at the Helm of First America-Class Amphibious Assault Ship
Abstract
USS America, the first of the America-class amphibious assault ships, is an engineering wonder. With a
displacement of 45,000 tons, the America is as large as many allied nation aircraft carriers. Her wonder
extends within her hull as well, supported by a technologically-advanced “green” power plant that is
projected to save an average of $15 million in fuel costs every six months. And when the Navy looked for
leaders to take the America’s helm, it chose graduates from the prestigious Naval Postgraduate School
(NPS) in Monterey, Calif.
