The Pearl Harbor-based guided missile frigate USS Crommelin will be in Hilo to take part in the 47th Merrie Monarch Festival.

The Crommelin will greet the festival's Royal Court tomorrow at 9 a.m. at its Pier 1 berth in Hilo Harbor.

Sailors will also attend hula performances, and the Navy's Pacific Fleet Band will march in the Merrie Monarch Royal Parade on Saturday.

A group of Navy ROTC cadets from Waiakea High will embark with the ship on its return trip to Pearl Harbor.
