Arsenal ship An arsenal ship is a concept for a floating missile platform intended to have as many as five hundred vertical launch bays for mid - sized missiles , most likely cruise missiles . In current US naval thinking , such a ship would initially be controlled remotely by an Aegis Cruiser , although plans include control by AWACS aircraft such as the E - 2 Hawkeye and E - 3 Sentry . History . Proposed by the US Navy in 1996 , it has since had funding problems , with the United States Congress cancelling some funding , and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) providing some funding to individual contractors for prototypes . Some concept artwork of the Arsenal Ship was produced , some images bearing the number " 72 , " possibly hinting at an intent to classify the arsenal ships as a battleship , since the last battleship ordered ( but never built ) was USS Louisiana ( BB - 71 ) . The U . S . Navy has since modified the four oldest Trident submarines to SSGN configuration , allowing them to carry up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles using vertical launching system s installed in the tubes which previously held strategic ballistic missiles .

Cavalry Corps ( Ireland ) The Cavalry Corps " ( Irish An Cór Marcra ) " is the armoured formation of the Irish Army .

In addition , a number of FV101 Scorpion light tanks are also used in the armoured reconnaissance role . History . The Cavalry Corps traces its history to the formation of the Armoured Car Corps on 14 September 1922 . Mechanised from the start , the corps utilised armoured vehicles that the British Army left following the War of Independence . Following a debate on the use of the term " cavalry " , and whether the word was meant to encompass horse , wheeled or tracked , the corps was renamed as the Cavalry Corps in 1934 . The first Irish Landsverk L60 was delivered in 1935 and joined Ireland ' s only other tank a Vickers Mk . D in the 2nd Armoured Squadron . The second Landsverk L60 arrived in 1936 . The Landsverk ' s were still in use up until the late 1960s . One L60 is preserved in running order and the other is in the National Museum of Ireland , Collins Barracks , Dublin . After The Emergency , the corps established a main battle tank cadre equipped with the Churchill , which formed the basis of the 1st Tank Squadron in 1959 . This was equipped with the Comet until its disbandment in 1973 . The Cavalry Corps has served in many locations on UN peacekeeping missions , including the Congo , Cyprus and Lebanon , either as Cavalry groups on their own , or attached as part of a battalion group . In these deployments the Cavalry Corps were equipped with Panhard AML vehicles - prior to their retirement in 2013 . Cavalry Corps today . The Cavalry Corps today is approximately equivalent in size to a single cavalry regiment ; however the Irish Army has never utilised the regimental structure ( although there was an attempt during 1942 to organise units into a cavalry regiment ) . Instead , cavalry operates as independent squadron s . Today , the army has a total of three cavalry squadrons : The 1st , 2nd Squadrons are standard light cavalry units equipped with the Mowag Piranha AFV and other light armoured vehicle s . One squadron is attached to each of the army ' s two infantry brigades to act as light armoured support . In addition to their regular duties , 2nd Cavalry Squadron also operates as the Presidential Motorcycle Escort , a task inherited from the Blue Hussars in 1948 . The 1st Armoured Cavalry Squadron was formed in 1998 by the amalgamation of the 1st Armoured Car Squadron and the reformed 1st Tank Squadron . This operates the FV101 Scorpion in the armoured reconnaissance role ; 1st Armoured Cavalry Squadron is an independent unit that is stationed at The Curragh .
