Besides diverting a ship that was headed for "recycling", another source of NA maritime assets would be museum ships. I don't recall off the top of my head where NA strongholds are, but there are small- to medium-sized maritime / naval museums in lots of places, and some of the ships are in amazingly good shape...
The WWII-era Liberty Ship JOHN BROWN in Baltimore is kept in good enough shape to pass its USCG inspection and carry passengers every year. Other museum ships have running engines, working radars, etc. Of course, none of the weapons on ANY museum ship work, but, if you can put a tank turret on the back of a medium-sized truck, you can put one ANYWHERE...
A museum ship could have been in drydock in a small city when the Twilight War started, and an NA cell could be strong there, for example...
