Wiki has a link for it as a concept ship and indicates the possibility of it being remotely controlled by a variety of platforms, e.g., Aegis Cruiser, AWACS, etc.

Re: Remote Control Arsenal Ship?
If the Iranians can hijack one of our UCAV's, then somebody else can hijack a remote controlled arsenal ship. Technology is no substitute for human operation.What could possibly go wrong with a concept such as this? What think what-if'ers?
