There is also a plan for a Arsenal Ship which agian would sailing into a combat zone under the cover of darkness (with its very low radar signature) and unleashing a rapid-fire barrage of MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System
I think the project was canceled but recently USN has since modified the four oldest Ohio-class Trident submarines to the SSGN configuration, allowing them to carry up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles using vertical launching systems installed in the tubes which previously held strategic ballistic missiles.
