I think the chances for the Navy to get another waved boat larger than a life raft without official approval are slim to non-existent. If they get the approval they could do it (but it will take a lot of time), but I don't think they will be able to hide the waving of a capital ship from their own government, from the TSAB and from the Air Force.
