New York city is an obvious one; by controlling that city they essentially control Long Island sound, which would serve as a nice natural harbor for any ships they might want to make repairs to. Rig up some artillery pieces and AA-guns on Long Island and it's a pretty good fortress. Granted they'd need to take the other port cities on the sound; namely Subase New London, due to the fact that it is a major military installation.
