they mention that two Forrest Sherman DD's are at Norfolk, one is at Cape May and that the CG WMEC at Cape May is going back to Norfolk soon

The DDG - i.e. John Hancock is from Going Home and the assumption is that she stayed at Norfolk once she got there

The sub - Corpus Christi - same thing after the submarine trilogy is over

and its bigger than a half dozen ships - they have various LCM's and some patrol boats as well that have been turned into monitors

They also have a large sailing ship that has had a turret mounted on her with a good sized gun and other armaments that is basically a coastal patrol/defense ship - about the size of a corvette or small destroyer if I remember right

I will post the description tonight when I get home - dont have that info with me right now

Rifle River has one WMEC as well but the way it is described the Coast Guard is only nominally answering to MilGov - it also occurs later than A Rock in Troubled Waters which occurs earlier in 2001

I have never seen Inland Waterway - not sure if there are any ships mentioned there at all - only seen the cover art for the article which shows what looks to be an armed USN patrol boat

I dont think there are any other canon articles that would detail ships

by the way it does say a dozen ships survived the nuking of Norfolk - so that would mean that at least a dozen USN ships were intact and active post nuke of Norfolk on the East Coast

and considering the Forrest Shermans werent ready till Thanksgiving 1998 that doesnt count those ships
