HNLMS Argus (A852) is a diving support vessel of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

History Argus was laid down on 16 September 1991 at Scheepswerf Visser in Den Helder (now part of the Damen Group) as the second of four new diving support vessel. She was launched the next year on 14 March 1992 and commissioned on 2 June 1992.
