EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the HMS Argus, a historic aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy during World War I. The HMS Argus, a former ocean liner under construction at the onset of the war in 1914, was swiftly converted into a carrier to support the British naval forces. By 1918, the ship was fully operational and boasted a formidable fleet of Sopwith Pup and Sopwith Camel aircraft. In this image, the HMS Argus is seen camouflaged, a crucial tactic employed by the Royal Navy to protect its vessels from enemy attacks. The striped, dazzle paintwork on the ship's hull was designed to make it difficult for U-boats and other submarines to estimate the ship's speed and direction. The intricate pattern of horizontal and vertical lines, combined with the irregular placement of dark and light sections, created an optical illusion that disrupted the enemy's ability to accurately target the vessel. The HMS Argus served valiantly in the Royal Navy from 1918 to 1944, playing a vital role in the protection of the British Isles and the North Sea. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of naval warfare during World War I, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Royal Navy in adapting to the evolving nature of modern warfare.
