It could be possible that assets in place off of Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, used for ammunition storage and transport, fled to Long Beach as the nearest viable harbor when Fog assets were sighted in the area - NWS Seal Beach is an important logistics station but has no real shelter nearby, and the nearest harbor of note -is- Long Beach.

Unfortunately, that whole stretch of the California coast has no real cover to speak of for anything larger than small craft - San Diego is the nearest port to the south and there's nothing viable to the north at all until you get to the SF Bay (Ventura being useless for anything larger than a fishing trawler; Santa Barbara much the same, and choked with yachts to boot; Morro Bay being far too shallow; and nothing else with any cover at all along the central coast)

I, er, know the area ;-)
