Wouldn't those be scorched at best and completely disintegrated at worst after re-entry? They aren't made for that after all.
What about a test ICBM launch from some submarine? Couldn't those lose a cowl? Would make more sense to me with no space port in the area and there are lots of exercises going on now in Nato and Russia.
