[SOFIA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_Observatory_for_Infrared_Astronomy) stands for *Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy*. She [says](https://www.sofia.usra.edu/multimedia/image-galleries/sofia-airborne-telescope-stabilization):

> My telescope stays stable with a spherical bearing, shock absorbers, and gyroscopes.



I suppose a similar system would work for an optical telescope on a [maritime vessel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship) as well. But what about a (small) radio-telescope on a ship? What are arguments (ideally mathematical ones) against a similar construction like for SOFIA?
