It is an interesting concept.

In my days on the old FRAM I destroyer, working antennas were always an issue.

The biggest issue was when we lost the surface search radar antenna during a stormy night in the middle of shipping lanes in Tokyo Bay.

An "on-board emergency spare" would have been nice!!! Perhaps someday it will be a reality.
