I could see a number of defenses. It'd have to be a layered approach with ships/drones patrolling offshore, combined with an offshore sensor network. As you get closer to shore, more patrols. Along the coastline, nuclear mines, patrol drones, naval laser batteries, anti-ship missiles, extensive ECM/ECCM networks, sensors, and active countermeasures such as aerosol sprays, smoke, etc., as directed energy weapons don't do well against them.
