Helicopter support ship RFA Argus is supporting the fight Ebola on OP Gritrock. LANDING CRAFT VEHICLE & PERSONNEL LCVP MK5 The LCVP MK5 is 15.5 metres long and 4.3 metres wide and capable of carrying a close combat company of thirty five fully equipped Commandos (or vehicles such as the Viking). The LCVP MK5 can travel up to twenty-five knots and has a range of over two hundred and ten nautical miles. RAIDING CRAFT RIGID RAIDER (RRC) AND INFLATABLE RAIDING CRAFT (IRC) Rigid Raider Craft are small raiding boats of eight metres long, capable of carrying a section of Royal Marines Commandos with full kit. The Mark 3 RRC has a 540bhp inboard diesel engine giving it a speed of more than thirty knots fully laden to a range one hundred and twenty nautical miles. Inflatable Raiding Craft are small ‘zodiac’ type craft, five metres long that can carry five fully equipped Royal Marines Commandos. They are capable of a speed of twenty knots for up to two hours The principal role of RFA Argus is to serve as a Primary Casualty Receiving Ship (PCRS). She has a fully equipped 100-bed medical complex on board, which can be uniquely tailored to deliver cutting-edge treatment afloat. The unit has a state-of-the-art emergency department, resuscitation and surgical facilities, a radiology suite that includes a CT scanner, a critical care unit, a high dependency unit and a 70-bed general ward. As RFA Argus is fitted with self-defence guns and decoys and may have operational units embarked, she is not designated as a Hospital Ship as defined by the Geneva Convention and so does not display the International Red Cross symbol.
