Missions

The Juniper class ships, launched in the late 1990s, are the second class of purpose-built Coast Guard seagoing buoy tenders. They are designed and operated as multi-mission platforms. HOLLYHOCK is capable of conducting law enforcement as well as aids to navigation work; they are also outfitted to handle oil spill recovery, search and rescue, homeland security, and some ice breaking operations. HOLLYHOCK uses Dynamic Positioning which allows maintenance of the vessel's position within a 10-meter circle in winds of up to 30 knots and waves of up to 8 feet.
