Compared to arsenal ships, anti-ship ballistic missiles, the core weapon, are the real trouble.
As Stark knows, even if anti-ship ballistic missiles can be developed, they are extremely expensive, certainly not something that can be procured in bulk like cruise missiles.
Actually, cruise missiles are also very expensive.
Let alone the "Trident" C4 strategic cruise missile, even tactical cruise missiles like the "Tomahawk" have a procurement price in excess of 1 million Newland Dollars for the Newland Military.
Obviously, such expensive cruise missiles raise a big question mark over the value of the arsenal ships.
According to the standard calculation of 432 missiles, even if they are all tactical cruise missiles, their total value exceeds 400 million Newland Dollars, which is roughly equivalent to the cost of an arsenal ship.
Is it appropriate to let an arsenal ship with such poor damage resistance carry so many, and such expensive, missiles?
