SEALs ran amok in military stores (8)

I believe the answer is:

arsenals

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'military stores' is the definition.
'arsenals' can be an answer for 'stores' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'military' bit.

'seals ran amok' is the wordplay.
'amok' indicates an anagram.
'seals'+'ran'='sealsran'
'sealsran' is an anagram of 'ARSENALS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arsenals that I've seen before include "Arms depots" , "Collections of arms and ammunition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
