These ships represent their respective nations as station and patrol ships in the Kingdom of Hawai'i and it's associated islands. As various trade and communications routes pass through Hawaiian territorial waters, periodic anti-piracy patrols are mounted by these ships in co-ordination with the Hawaiian Royal Navy.

The Austro-Hungarian central-battery ironclad, SMS Lissa and the Japanese protected cruiser, HIJMS Unebi and the German armoured corvette SMS Oldenburg are scheduled to reinforce the squadron later this year. The Spanish ironclad Sagunto is due to return to Cavite Naval Dockyard in the Spanish Philippines for a long delayed refit to repair recent damage suffered in numerous actions against Red Serpentine Pirates. The Spanish Admiralty has announced that it will be replaced by their newest battleship HMCMS Pelayo.
