I'm not sure that {notlhmoH} has that meaning. {notlhmoH} sounds like one is making something obsolete, for example, making the Enterprise A obsolete by developing a faster/more powerful starship, or making warfare obsolete by rendering it uneconomical.  As you said, mothballing something means it's already obsolete, so {notlhmoH} doesn't apply.

Maybe {notlhmo' ...} but I can't think of a word for "store, put in storage".
