"Modest Medical Facilities" indeed, RFA Argus had a 100 bed hospital - I will be interested to see what (if any) provision for the casualty receiving role will be included in the MRSS specifications.
The RN website hasn't yet been updated to reflect her withdrawal.
The Royal Navy’s Casualty ‘Class’ consists of just one vessel, RFA Argus. The primary role of this ship is to receive and treat casualties and for this purpose it has a fully-equipped, 100-bed hospital complete with a four-bay operating theatre, ten-bed critical care unit, 20-bed high dependency unit and a CT scanner.
(I sometimes wonder if
some of my posts are invisible
- but I was more focussed on the RDEL savings comment)
