		The H.M.S. Argus was the first ship to provide a safe carrier on which airplanes could alight on and fly off safely and was the world's first true through-deck aircraft carrier, thus being the prototype for all later carriers.
		The RFA Argus was a Royal Fleet Auxiliary Aviation Training ship which served in the British navy in the later part of the 20th century.
		She is noted for aiding in the recovery of the Klingon homeworld and each of her successors carries the last three digits of her registry in recognision of her achievements.

	uboat.net - Allied Warships - Aircraft Carrier HMS Argus of the Argus class
		Argus was commissioned in September 1918, shortly before the end of the Great War.
		Argus served in a training role during much of World War II, but the desperate circumstances of the first years of that conflict sometimes required that she see front-line service, notably in 1942, when she served with Force H and later supported the landings in North Africa.
		Argus was sold for scrapping on 5 December 1946.

		The HMS Dunedin (I 93) joined the 1st Cruiser Squadron in the Atlantic Fleet and was then loaned to the New Zealand Division in May 1924, replacing the cruiser HMS Chatham.
		The HMS Dunedin (Captain Lambe) was allocated to the 12th Cruiser Squadron in the Home Fleet and in September to the 11th Cruiser Squadron in the Orkneys and Shetland Command, based at Kirkwall for service on the Northern Patrol.
		In December 1940, the HMS Dunedin formed part of the escort for the troop convoy WS-5A (consisting of 20 merchants and the British aircraft carriers HMS Argus and HMS Furious, used to ferry aircraft to Takoradi), together with the British cruisers HMS Berwick and HMS Bonaventure.

	Carrier Aviation
		HMS Hermes (1923), which was the first ship in the world to be designed and built as an aircraft carrier.
		These trials proved so successful that HMS Centaur became the first British ship to be fitted with an Angled Flight Deck, in 1953, followed shortly by HMS Ark Royal, which has the distinction of being the first warship to enter service already fitted with an angled deck.
		Trails on HMS Perseus during 1950-1952 showed an aircraft weighing 30,000lbs could be launched with a speed of over 90 knots, which was a considerable increase over the air hydraulic catapults then in service.

	HMS FURIOUS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As the third of Admiral Fisher's 'tin-clad' light battle-cruisers (laid down in 1915), she was launched in August 1916 but delayed in completion to allow her to ship the navy's largest gun, a 45~-mm (18-in) weapon, in single mounts at each end.
		Although virtually complete in March 1917, she then had her forward gun removed in favour of a sloping flying-off deck some 69.5 m (228 ft) in length.
		In November 1917, therefore, her after gun mounting made way for a 86.6=m (284-ft) flying-on deck over a second hangar.

	EU Referendum
		Following on from the sneak announcement by Lord Drayson last week that the MoD had dropped its target date of 2012 for the delivery of the first two new carriers.
		We now face the very real prospect that, from the first time since 1917, when HMS Furious was converted to become the Navy's first operational carrier (left), followed a year later by the first through-deck carrier, HMS Argus (below right), the Royal Navy will be without operational carriers.
		Under the heading, "Without aircraft carriers we'll be sunk", Burns reminds us that, in 1909, there was a public panic over the purchase of new Dreadnought battleships, and the slogan "We Want Eight" caused the Liberal government to step up its warship orders to match German production.

		This unit trained pilots for operational squadrons based aboard carriers, the first of which was HMS Argus.
		It was therefore natural that an acceptance park located on the route north from the factories in Yorkshire be used to test the new Cuckoos prior to their arrival at East Fortune - the only facility in Scotland was at Renfrew, near Glasgow.
		As a footnote, it was ironic that aircraft from the first batch of Cuckoos ordered (from the Fairfield Engineering Company in Glasgow in October 1917) were not delivered until September 1918, much later than examples from the Blackburn batches.
