Why is the Union Jack on Hawaiian flag?

For a period of Hawaiian history, the islands were allied with the British Empire, most notably under King Kamehameha I (1758-1819). When the King requested a design for a new flag, it was designed by the Royal Hawaiian Navy, which included former members of the British Royal Navy.
