From Ships to Saplings: Nurturing a Legacy at Pearl Harbor
August 11, 2025 — Under the hot Hawaiian sun, two young native saplings are taking root outside of Building 167 on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and thanks to the watchful eye of five dedicated shipyard employees, their future looks bright. Throughout the week, and even on weekends, volunteers from across Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility step in to ensure the trees receive the care they need to thrive in their early months. It has become a shipyard tradition to plant a young native tree at the end of a long Chief of Naval Operations availability, a significant and intense maintenance period for ships and submarines. It is a gesture to commemorate and express gratitude to the shipyard for all their hard work, dating back to 2015, when a young plumeria tree was first planted outside Building 167 on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. ...
