Israeli Navy destroy Hamas boat and attack terrorists in sea<\/h3>\n\u201cSince being procured in the early 1980s for Falkland War service, she has performed various roles, as I witnessed during visits to the vessel. Argus was used as a Primary Casualty Reception Ship (PCRS) vessel during the 1991 Gulf War, then as a carrier for Sea King helicopters being ferried to the Balkans for a peace-keeping task.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Ballantyne acknowledged: \u201cIt won\u2019t be without risk for Argus or Lyme Bay and their people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe potential threats from ashore as the UK, and other vessels, loiter awaiting instructions are very real, as was demonstrated the last time the Royal Navy was committed to a major mission off the Levant in time of war.<\/p>\n
In 2006 the UK deployed a substantial naval task group to the eastern Mediterranean to evacuate civilians from Beirut during a conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it is Hezbollah that poses the most formidable threat to the British task group, as it has proven via an ability to launch Anti-shipping Missiles (ASM) in the past, most notably hitting an Israeli warship in 2006.\u201d<\/p>\n
For this reason, the British task group would stay as far out to sea as possible unless required to otherwise, Mr Ballantyne stressed.<\/p>\n
He said: However, it is expected that HMS Duncan, a powerful British air-defence destroyer – currently leading a well-armed NATO group called SNMG2 in the eastern Mediterranean – will provide cover, as will other vessels, not least the US Navy\u2019s destroyers, cruisers and aircraft carriers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the skies above will be NATO Maritime Patrol Aircraft, including at least one Poseidon MPA of the RAF and possibly UK fighter jets. Cyprus, where Britain has military bases will be hosting such air assets and other units.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere may also be a British nuclear-powered attack submarine in seas somewhere off Israel, the Gaza Strip and the Lebanon, which will use its own sensors to obtain advance warning of threats. It will take action, if ordered, via launching cruise missiles.\u201d<\/p>\n
