LÉ Aoife (P22) is a ship in the Irish Naval Service. The ship is named after Aoife, stepmother to the children of Lir, whom she turned into swans. It is the sister ship of the late LE Deirdre, the LE Emer and the LE Aisling. The LE Aoife was commissioned as an Offshore patrol vessel after funding became available from the EU when The Irish Exclusive Fishery Zone was extended from 12 miles out to 200 miles in 1976.
