Despite being short of frigates and destroyers, I suspect we have a frigate or two East of Suez. But, according to the
Telegraph, RFA
Argus is
also in the area.
The noteworthy thing about both ships is their aviation facilities,
Fort Victoria is operating three or four Merlins, and
Argus even more Merlins/Sea Kings/Lynx/Chinooks.
Now who was it who said we wouldn't need shipborne aviation for ten years?
