USS America (CVA/CV-66) was one of three Kitty Hawk-class super aircraft carriers built for the United States Navy in the 1960's. Commissioned in 1965, she spent most of her career in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, but did make three Pacific deployments serving in the Vietnam War. She also served in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

America held the distinction of bring the first aircraft carrier since Operations Crossroads in 1946 to be expanded in weapon tests. In 2005, she was scuttled southeast of Cape Hatteras, after four weeks of tests, despite a large protest of former crew-members who wanted to see her instituted as a memorial museum. She was the largest warship ever to be sunk..
