They'd have to be very BIG ships which I doubt would be available. Even less available after those few seaworthy ships as could be scrounged up in Europe were sailed across to the US and sit there rusting and out of fuel.

As for the Chunnel, is France really going to let a foriegn army into their country?
I would also expect that the UK end, if not both, had been nuked to prevent it being used for transport of reinforcements and supplies. Chances are that without power for the pumps, it's also flooded with seawater.
