wrong.
just because you have a spare, doesn't mean you immediately put it into use.
That just doesn't make sense economically and logistically.
It's like saying if the Fleet had extra VALKYRIES they'll put them into operation.
We know that's not true.
You need the pilots, the maintenance crew, the fuel...
In short, you keep spares and extra for precisely the reason when you need a quick replacement.

I'm absolutely sure they can build a replacement in the event the flagship loses its gun cannon. But there's no way the flagship is going to go "oops, I lost the main cannon." "Oh well" Reach over and grab one from the spares bin. in the heat of battle.
Any operation to replace the main cannon is going to be intricate and time-consuming. Hands or no.

I agree. I'm certain if they did lose the main cannon, they'll retreat to a safe point and meet up with the logistic train.
and call up a replacement, which will be folded in, picked up by the battloid ship and head back to the front.
