"Long Éireannach" (LÉ), Irish for "Irish ship", is the designation given to ships in the Irish Naval Service's fleet. The ship is named after Orla, a grand niece (great niece) of Brian Boru. She was murdered by her husband around 1090.[2] The crest shows the arms of Clare on the top segment and a sword and royal collar on the base.[2] She is the sister ship of {{ship|LÉ|Ciara|P42|6}}.
