NAVAL AUXILIARY A135
RFA Argus-Argus was procured for a helicopter training role. This former Ro-Ro container ship was converted for her new task by Harland and Wolf, completing in 1988. The former Ro-Ro deck is used as a hanger with four sliding WT doors able to operate at a speed of 10 m/min. Argus can replenish other ships underway. There is one lift port midships and one abaft the funnel. Domestic facilities are somewhat limited if she is used in the Command support role. She was the first RFA to be fitted with a command system. Argus has a subsidiary role as a Primary Casualty Receiving Ship and in January 2009 the MoD announced that RFA Argus is to be upgraded with state of the art medical equipment in an extensive refit worth over £23M, that will see the ship renovated for her crucial role in providing hospital facilities to troops in war zones.
