If you look at Challenge Magazine 42 you get this tidbit in A Rock in Troubled Waters
Monitors: These are a variation on a Vietnam-era modification. LCM6s drawn from the amphibious base at Norfolk received boiler plate armor and whatever weaponry was handy.
To me that sounds like the Little Creek Amphibious Base wasnt hit by the nuke and has intact LCM6's there for MilGov to build these monitors
