HMS Argus I49 British Aircraft Carrier

HMS Argus

HMS Argus was a British aircraft carrier that served in the Royal Navy from 1918 to 1944. She was converted from an ocean liner that was under construction when the First World War began and became the first example of the standard pattern of aircraft carrier, with a full-length flight deck that allowed wheeled aircraft to take off and land.

During World War Two, she was used for training, aircraft transport and took part in Operation Torch, the invasion of French North Africa. Argus was scrapped in 1947.
