- Final Service: Argus served in several major conflicts and humanitarian operations, including the 1982 Falklands War (as MV Contender Bezant) and the 1991 Gulf War, before its final role as a Primary Casualty Receiving Ship.
- Reason for Disposal: Despite plans to keep the vessel in service beyond 2030, a 5-month overhaul in 2025 failed to resolve critical issues, including propeller shaft leaks and problems with fire doors, causing the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Lloyds Register to withdraw its safety certification.
- Fate: The ship, which was last active, will be scrapped, marking the end of its long career.
