It depends on whether you're analyzing it as a compound noun or as a phrase with Scorpion as the head noun, which you can determine by checking where you put main stress.

There is a bit of a UK/US English divide on this but to my American ear Scorpion Navy Issues sounds better.

"I only listen to iPods Nano in my Ford Focuses ST" is pretty bad.

I don't always undock, but when I do... no wait, I acutally never undock.
