The BHI San Lucas is a hospital ship owned and operated by the Creeperian Navy. The ship is marked by the prefix "BHI" standing for Barco Hospital Imperial (Creeperian Spanish for Imperial Hospital Ship), the only ship in the Creeperian Navy with a such prefix.

The ship began construction in 1977 and was launched in 1980. She was completed on 12 December 1981 and entered service on 23 December of the same year. The vessel is 932 feet and 3 inches long, the largest non-combat ship in the Creeperian Navy and one of the largest in the world costing $1.2 billion colóns, the equivalent of ₵150 million credits.

The ship has served in multiple wars as support for the Creeperian Navy, including the Mara War, Third Senvarian Insurgency, and the Deltinian Insurgency. The vessel is most famous for its participation in the Armas Blockade of Morova in January 2020 and the Battles of the Glaceis Ocean against Morova in March 2020.
