==Description==
==Overview==
Unlike its successors, whose pods carry thirty or more missiles, an Ares silo carried only a single missile. Warships historically carried far fewer Ares missiles than [[Archer missile]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HETILATPDOPJCS4}} Ares missiles were typically mounted on the ships of the [[CMA Navy]] while the [[UNSC Navy]] preferred Archers.
