Such was the need for secrecy about naval losses during the war that the demise of ARGYLL was barely made public at the time, and the drama that engulfed her crew and the lighthouse keepers that night was never brought to light.
In October 1915, ARGYLL was nearing the end of a refit at Plymouth dockyard and was urgently needed at sea.
Built in 1904 at Greenock, Scotland, ARGYLL belonged to what was know as the "Improved County" class of battle cruiser and escorted the King and Queen to India when they went East for the Durbar at the end of 1912.

 Navy News - News Desk - News - HMS Argyll on guard at Iraqi oil platforms   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The ships’ boats are in constant use, and with the Xeres communication suite, where Argyll and her sea boat can remain in contact by datalink and know each others GPS position, the sea boat can be expected to work many miles from ‘home’ to intercept a suspect vessel.
Argyll’s helicopter is used to conduct surface patrols, expanding the visual horizon up to Iraq to the north, Kuwaiti waters to the west and the approaches to the Al Faw peninsula.
Argyll has helped in assisting with this training and fuelling the Iraqi patrol boats, and the first exchange with their Iraqi counterparts proved to be warm and welcoming, with the Iraqis very keen to learn from any British sailor.
