H.M.S. Argus (1917)
Pendant Number: N.96 (1919)
49 (Sep, 1919)[1]
Builder: Beardmore[2]
Launched: 2 Dec, 1917[3]
Commissioned: Sep, 1918[4]

H.M.S. Argus was an aircraft carrier completed for the Royal Navy in 1918, but which was originally designed to be the Italian ocean liner Conte Rosso. Despite her odd genesis, she boasted a continuous flight deck and more accurately reflected a mature aircraft carrier than any previous vessel.

She was purchased for conversion in August, 1916.[6]
