ARGUS Goes Dutch – the Aviation Support Ship RFA ARGUS on Hurricane Watch in the Caribbean joined forces with the Dutch Karel Doorman Class Multi-Purpose Frigate HNLMS VAN AMSTEL for a spell fighting the War on drugs, designated Exercise Carib Venture.     This was a six day Dutch led operation to detect, distract and disrupt the trafficking of illegal narcotics between the islands of the Caribbean.   The RFA ARGUS is in the final stages of the sojourn on the North Atlantic Patrol (North), which in recent weeks has been focused on the war on drug trafficking and support for British Territories in the Caribbean.     RFA ARGUS is due home in the UK in December 2012.
