change an entire column in array?

Hi, sorry for my english in advance:

I am making a game in which you buy ships to play with. I want to use a array to make the changes in the ships that are equipped, this is my solution in theory:

this is an example of the array:

ship1---Equipped

Ship2---NotEquipped

Ship3---NotEquipped ... and so on

So, when the player equips "ship 3", for example, I want all the other ships to change to NotEquipped, this will make easier to add ships in the future. I don�t know if there is a way to make a simple programming for this or a bunch of conditionals like:

IF click on "ship2 equipButton"------ set Ship1 to NotEquipped

                                      set Ship2 to Equipped

                                      set Ship3 to NotEquipped...

hope it was clear and someone can help.

thank you.

Just use a For loop to set all to NotEquipped first, THEN set the appropriate slot to Equipped.

Sorry but I dont quite get how to use the for loop in the array to solve my problem, I�m quite new using it, if you could be more specifir it will be a great help, Anyways I will try to figure it out. tnx for respopndig.
