BRP Rajah Lakandula (PF-4) was originally an Edsall-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy as USS Camp (DE-251) in 1943. In 1956, she was converted to a radar picket ship and later served during the Vietnam War until being decommissioned in 1970. She was transferred to South Vietnam on 13 February 1971.

Historical accounts suggest that Rajah Sulayman initially did not participate in negotiations with the Spanish, possibly due to concerns about antagonism.
