RFA Argus of the shore of Sierra Leone

Image shows RFA Argus off the cost of Sierra Leone.
Helicopter support ship RFA Argus is supporting the fight Ebola on OP Gritrock.
The principal role of RFA Argus is to serve as a Primary Casualty Receiving Ship (PCRS). She has a fully equipped 100-bed medical complex on board, which can be uniquely tailored to deliver cutting-edge treatment afloat.
The unit has a state-of-the-art emergency department, resuscitation and surgical facilities, a radiology suite that includes a CT scanner, a critical care unit, a high dependency unit and a 70-bed general ward.
As RFA Argus is fitted with self-defence guns and decoys and may have operational units embarked, she is not designated as a Hospital Ship as defined by the Geneva Convention and so does not display the International Red Cross symbol

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the RFA Argus off the coast of Sierra Leone, where it is playing a crucial role in supporting the fight against Ebola on Operation Gritrock. As a Helicopter support ship, RFA Argus serves as a Primary Casualty Receiving Ship (PCRS), equipped with an impressive 100-bed medical complex that can deliver cutting-edge treatment at sea. The image showcases the ship's state-of-the-art facilities, including an emergency department, resuscitation and surgical facilities, radiology suite with a CT scanner, critical care unit, high dependency unit, and a spacious general ward accommodating up to 70 patients. It is truly remarkable how this vessel has been uniquely tailored to provide comprehensive medical aid in challenging environments. While RFA Argus carries self-defense guns and decoys due to potential operational units embarked onboard, it does not display the International Red Cross symbol as defined by the Geneva Convention. Nevertheless, its humanitarian mission remains unwavering as it supports relief efforts in Sierra Leone during one of history's most devastating disease outbreaks. This atmospheric silhouette highlights both the strength and compassion embodied by our armed forces. The Royal Navy's commitment to providing vital assistance in times of crisis is evident through their involvement in operations like Gritrock. This print by PO (Phot) Carl Osmond serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's resilience and determination when faced with adversity.
