USS America (CV-66) was a United States Navy aircraft carrier that served from 1965 until 1996. In 1976, the USS America embarked on a Mediterranean deployment, known as the 1976 Mediterranean Cruise, which extended into 1977.

During the deployment, the USS America served as the flagship of the US Sixth Fleet, which was responsible for supporting US and NATO interests in the Mediterranean region. The carrier's aircraft and crew conducted a variety of missions, including air patrols, reconnaissance flights, and strike missions against potential threats to US and NATO forces in the region.

The USS America's deployment was also notable for its involvement in several international crises. In July 1976, the carrier was involved in the response to the Israeli Raid on Entebbe Airport in Uganda, providing air support and transport for Israeli commandos involved in the rescue of hostages held by Palestinian militants.

In addition to its operational missions, the USS America also played a role in fostering international cooperation and goodwill. During the deployment, the carrier visited a number of ports in Europe and the Middle East, engaging in cultural exchanges and conducting joint exercises with allied naval forces.
