GT15 "If no suitable terrain (building or jungle) exists, the American player may invoke G14.41 (for routing to Beached LC only) for his units during the RtPh. The broken unit may then remain aboard until rallied; once returned to Good Order, G14.231 applies. Until vacant, the LC will remain Beached and is not subject to Recall as per G14.232."
While in the LC Passengers are CR instead of broken [G12.13], but once on hinterland hexes they break normally. If the landing is made on a hinterland hex next to deep ocean it is possible that the only place to rout to will be the LC. The problem is here:
G12.124 "ACTIONS: Aside from (un)loading (12.4-421; 12.45), the only actions allowed by LC Passengers are MC/TC resolution (△; 12.13), unhooking of Guns (12.42), wreck removal (12.43) and SW Transfer/Recovery."
In particular, rallying is not an option. Is the only option once the a unit has routed back to the boat to rout out of the LC per D6.1? If the LC is beached across a hexside, is the rout still to the same hex per D5.311 or is it to the hex against which the LC is beached? If it routs out of the LC to the "beach" hex and there are enemy units in that direction is the unit unable to rout out of the LC?
If, despite G12.124, rallying is an option, per G12.13 "No leadership ... modifier may be applied by/to a unit aboard a LC." Is this still true when rallying?
