USS America (CV 66) finishes last deployment.
The crew of the USS America (CV 66) man the rails as tugboats push the ship to the pier in Norfolk, Va., ending a six month, Mediterranean Sea deployment on Jan. 24, 1996. Additionally, the America Battle Group operated in the Adriatic Sea in support of the NATO Implementation Force (IFOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina for Operation Joint Endeavor. This was the last deployment for the USS America which is scheduled for decommissioning later this year.
