I've followed basically this philosophy. At the beginning of 2000, the District has only three combatants worth mentioning: USCGC
Gallatin and two
Bainbridge Island-class ships. The former packs a 76mm gun, while the latter bring 25mm guns to the fight. Frigates they are not. Well, I suppose
Gallatin doubles as a frigate in a pinch. I haven't bothered to try to account for any of the other shipping that might have been operating out of northern coastal New England when the bombs fell. I've always operated on the principal that Milgov sent those assets elsewhere. We know, for instance, that some light units were sent to Europe in 1998 (I think). Whatever escort-type ships were operating out of the area can have gone that way.
