No — ocean is impassable for retreat moves, so a unit that can't retreat anywhere else loses a figure for each flag. Units may still choose to move into or along ocean hexes on their own turn (one hex at a time); only the forced retreat is barred. The one exception is a unit on a Landing Craft from the Air Pack.
