Snow crash has a flotilla centered around a privately owned nuclear aircraft carrier. (Purchased after the dissolution of the US military). Many many other ships have lashed themselves to it in a haphazard way.

Diamond Age does not have a similar flotilla, although now that you mention it there is a lot of reference to water. This may be a theme for stephenson.
