The BRP Lake Caliraya (AF-81) was a Philippine Navy small replenishment tanker. She was formerly a double-hulled oil products tanker of the now defunct Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) Shipping and Transport Corporation,[3] and was donated to the Philippine Navy in 2014[4] together with 2 other tankers of the company. She is currently the only Chinese-made naval asset of the Philippine Navy.
She has a deadweight of 4,570 tons.[3] The ship is a single product replenishment platform that has a depot-to-ship, ship-to-depot, and a ship-to-ship refueling capabilities, and with Lt. Cmdr. Mamerto A Goleta (PN) as its first commanding officer. The ship was crewed by selected officers of the Sealift Amphibious Force.[2]
The ship was decommissioned on 17 December 2020,[5] after the Philippine Navy found the ship to have several mechanical and electrical issues wherein repairs and further work are impractical to do.
