Russian Arsenal Ship

An arsenal ship is a naval concept emphasizing a very large missile payload supported by external or networked targeting information. American studies during the 1990s explored a vessel with a small crew, extensive communications links, and hundreds of vertically launched missiles. Other countries and commentators have considered similar arrangements. A Russian arsenal ship remains a conceptual subject here; no confirmed operational class is identified.

The concept separates missile carriage from many of the sensors and command functions normally concentrated aboard a major combatant. That arrangement depends heavily on reliable communications and support from other ships, aircraft, or space-based systems to locate targets and coordinate attacks.
