Actually, the 150 quote is either wrong or RFC retconned himself later in UH as there were MORE than 150 that got destroyed at SOL a couple chapters later. It is safe to say that all the SLN SD's are unmanned or destroyed.
They probably didn't get to that phase yet - plans don't just happen overnight.
There still are 5 other BF Fleet bases with active fleets and reserve formation outside the Sol system in the Inner Sphere, not to mention the unreturned fleet of "Raging Justice 2" (the 2nd Blunder). Not saying that plans didn't change, but there are plenty other SDs swimming around to be kept or recycled.
One would think you would have been 100% correct rationally speaking as a reason for this conundrum, except in UH we are also told by Kingsford to Kolotsov that all the SD's had already had their crews removed and he was RESTORING 150 SD's to use in BC roles out in the shell/protectorates instead of BC's to free up BC's to attack Beowulf.
