Crew from the Coast Guard Cutter Kukui launches a navigation buoy after it is serviced. Named after the state tree of Hawaii whose nut oil was once used to light navigation lamps, the Kukui is a 225-foot seagoing buoy tender. Home-ported in Honolulu, the Kukui is equipped with a global positioning system that permits the crew to service and accurately position floating aids to navigation.
