BIC Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo, formerly called the BV Cristóbal Colón Cámarillo, was a Creeperian ocean liner turned troop ship built in 1911. It was owned and operated by the Gold Star Line from 1911 until 1933, when it was requisitioned by the Creeperian Navy for use as a troop transport ship during the Creeperian Civil War. The ship was scuttled on 28 December 1941 during an encounter with the BNC DA-4 submarine of the National Council for Peace and Order to prevent her capture.
