    An arsenal can contain factories and workshops to produce weapons, ammunition, equipment and supplies for an army. A first-class arsenal would have factories for gun and carriage production along with facilities for ammunition, small arms, tents, saddlery and powder. It requires large storehouses and should be strategically located near bases of operations and supply lines, secure from attack but not too close to borders. In the 21st century, a floating armoury described a ship storing weapons in international waters to supply merchant vessels threatened by piracy without violating territorial waters where the weapons were illegal.

    Types[edit]

    A lower-class arsenal, which can furnish the materiel and equipment of a small army, may
    contain a laboratory, gun and carriage factories, small-arms ammunition, small-arms, harness,
    saddlery tent and powder factories; in addition, it must possess great storehouses. In a second-
    class arsenal, the factories would be replaced by workshops. The situation of an arsenal should
    be governed by strategic considerations. If of the first class, it should be situated at the base of
    operations and supply, secure from attack, not too near a frontier, and placed so as to draw in
    readily the resources of the country. The importance of a large arsenal is such that its defences
    would be on the scale of those of a large fortress.
    In the early 21st century, the term "floating armoury" described a ship storing weapons to be
    supplied to merchant vessels in international waters subject to piracy, so that the weapons do not
    enter territorial waters where they would be illegal.
