		The RFA really came into its own in World War II when the British fleet was often far from available bases, either due to the enemy capturing available bases, or, in the Pacific, the sheer distances involved.
		After 1945, the RFA assumed centre stage in supporting the operations of the Royal Navy in the many conflicts that the Navy was involved in.
		Sir Bedivere is due to be retained until 2011, since it underwent a SLEP from 1994 until 1998.

		The primary role of the RFA is to supply the Royal Navy (RN) at sea, with the food, fuel, ammunition and spares that it requires in order to maintain operations away from its home ports.
		The RFA's also formed part of the British contribution to operations in former Yugoslavia and are often deployed in support of Britain's contribution to Nato and United Nations peace-keeping operations.

		To clarify, RFA Argus is normally an aviation training vessel, used for the training of Fleet Air Arm personnel in VTOL at-sea take offs and landings, using either helicopters or fixed-wing Sea Harriers.
		She is nothing like the USNS Comfort, or her sister ship, the USNS Mercy, of course, hence why she is designated a PCRS, and not as a fully-fledged hospital ship.
		However, I am reminded of what Admiral Sir Michael Boyce said at a press conference, during the announcement of forces being kept in the Gulf region after Saif Sareea II was over.
