PRE-FEDERATION SHIPS:

US ARGUS:
Sloop in the war of 1812 - Took nineteen prizes while raiding the English and Irish channels before it's capture by the H.M.S. Pelican on 14th August 1813

HMS ARGUS:
Sloop. Was on Patrol in in Sicilian waters in 1860. Under Captain Moresby she took part in a joint action with the Japanese Goverment during the winter of 1863-64 against Chosiu, a powerful Daimyo who prevented access to the inland Sea through the straits of Shimonoseki Passage. She was commanded by Fredrick William Hallows between 1867 and 1870.

HMS ARGUS:
Fourth British Aircraft Carrier To Be Launched. Launched on the 2nd of December 1917 the ship was completed in 1918. The H.M.S. Argus was the first ship to provide a safe carrier on which airplanes could alight on and fly off safely and was the world's first true through-deck aircraft carrier,  thus being the prototype for all later carriers.

ARGUS: PY-14
Patrol yaught built in 1929 at Kiel in Germany and converted at Long Beach, California. Commissioned on 13th Febuary 1941 under Lt. Commander Harold H. Connelley. Rescued the 60 Survivors from the "Liberty Ship" John A. Johnson, which had been torpedoed and sunk by the Japanese submarine 1-12 on 30th October 1944.

HMS/RFA ARGUS: A135
The R.F.A. Argus was a Royal Fleet Auxiliary Aviation Training ship which served in the British navy in the Gulf War of the early 1990's when it was converted to a hospital ship. Still in service in 1998 after the eugenics war.

BRS ARGUS: NAR-24
Mystery surounds the BRS Argus. Listed in the International Space Registry, there is little other evidence that it existed. It is the only ship with the BRS registry prefix (standing for British Republican Starship) owing to the fact that it was registered during the period the Optimum Republic of Great Britain existed and had disappeared by the time the monarchy was restored in 2080.
