Narrative:

I was working the TRACON supervisor position when aircraft X was sent around on runway 8L by local 1 due to an aircraft still on the runway. Local 2 was working an aircraft who was departing a parallel runway. There were numerous coordination's with the TRACON regarding headings and altitude of the two aircraft. In the end; aircraft Y went to departure on a 120 heading; stopped at 2000 feet; which is below the minimum vectoring altitude (MVA) and aircraft X was on a 140 heading climbing to 040. Although I was not witness to the operation in the tower; and do not know what kinds of coordination happened; I feel having local 2 open in the tower is unsafe. The aircraft at honolulu; both arrivals and departures; are so intertwined with each other that they should be on the same frequency; worked by the same person. Local 2 alleviates frequency congestion; but does not make the tower safer. It is unsafe to have aircraft in such close proximity to each other; crossing flight paths; and be on two different frequencies. I suggest terminating local 2 and going back to a single local control position.
