"I can hypothesize though, I’d imagine the Aoka would just unlink the turret and sail away,"
Just a small point ... it will have to be towed because it doesn't have its own power.
The turret for the Sea Lion project will require more connections for the umbilicals etc., than it did for Lancaster, and so will be either modified or completely replaced.
The current turret was built in Dubai, where the previous upgrade took place, but I hope that this time it will be built somewhere else such as South Korea ... so as not to go any where near the Houthis.
