A ceremony was held Tuesday to mark the end of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Jarvis.
The 378-foot high vessel was commissioned in Honolulu in 1972.
It’s the fourth cutter that will be removed from service and replaced with a new fleet of cutters.
"What’s noteworthy is Jarvis is the first ship to be commissioned and serve her entire service in the Aloha State these last 40 years," said Coast Guard Pacific commander Admiral Paul Zukunft.
The cutter is named after Captain David Jarvis who led an expedition in 1897 to rescue 300 whalers stranded off Alaska.
