Can an Influence Disc be moved to an adjacent hex if there is no other influenced hex adjacent to that target hex?

The rules state the requirements of moving from and to hexes, but don't clarify whether the action of moving a disc "from" a hex invalidates that hex as an influenced neighbor.

Put another way, can I move a disc from one hex to a neighboring hex if there is no **other** influenced (or ship-resident) hex next to that destination hex?

When you move the influence disk, pick up the disk from the hex and place according to the rules i.e.

* to a hex that does not contain an Influence Disc or an enemy
  Ship and is adjacent to a hex where you have a disc
  or a Ship.
* to a hex where only you have a Ship.

The disk cannot move across the explored space on it's own
