The Arsenal Ship was the most innovative naval weapons concept of
the late 20th Century: a stealthy vessel armed with 500 Vertical
Launch System (VLS) tubes and manned by a crew of only 25 or 30
sailors, intended to rain precision-guided missiles on enemies from
a safe distance; a "force multiplier" that was seen as an integral
part of the Revolution in Military Affairs. The arsenal ship
fascinated military thinkers in the mid-90s, although there was
spirited debate over the wisdom of putting so many eggs in one
lightly defended basket. Would it have worked? Read the detailed
contemporary analysis and judge for yourself. An essential
