Note
The plural can count places or stockpiles, and the sentence shows which. Arsenals that run around the clock are establishments where arms are made, tested and repaired; the arsenals of nations are the weapons themselves. In the broader sense of any supply, an of-phrase names the contents, and the military ring adds a hint of combat: arsenals of arguments, of attack ads, of home remedies.
