An oil rig isn't a mobile structure once it is emplaced. The Principality of Sealand is built on a very similar structure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand. It's been standing since emplaced in the 1940s. So this structure has been around for 70 years and it absolutely wasn't built to last through the war.
