From its role in World War I as an aircraft carrier to its remarkable camouflage techniques, this vessel has left an indelible mark on naval warfare. HMS Argus, a pioneering aircraft carrier commissioned during WWI, revolutionized military strategies by providing a mobile platform for aerial operations. Its presence in key battles like the Bombardment of Kagoshima showcased the power and versatility of this formidable warship. One notable event that unfolded aboard HMS Argus was Lt Col R Bell Davies' daring flight in the Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter F2211. This courageous pilot's mission exemplified the bravery and skill exhibited by those who took to the skies from this floating airfield. Beyond wartime exploits, HMS it also witnessed moments of tranquility.
