BRP General Antonio Luna was the second ship of the General Emilio Aguinaldo class patrol vessel of the Philippine Navy. This ship, along with her only sistership BRP General Emilio Aguinaldo (PG-140), was one of the last that were made in the Cavite Naval Ship Yard. The original plan called for 6 Aguinaldo class vessels to be built, but this number may not be reached.[6]

She was decommissioned on 8 April 2016.[2]
