RFA Argus: Exclusive tour of UK Armed Forces' hospital ship

RFA Argus is a Primary Casualty Receiving Ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary – the flagship 'hospital ship' of the UK's Armed Forces.

Forces News has been given an exclusive tour of the floating medical facility, getting the chance to see the operating theatre, intensive care units, and even the fridges where blood is stored.

In case of a war or a crisis, RFA Argus has 100 beds on board and, according to Lieutenant Dave Roper, the only CT scanner on board a British ship.
