We carry out simulations of a lattice London superconductor in a magnetic field B, with a finite magnetic penetration length {lambda}. We find that superconducting coherence parallel to B persists into the vortex line liquid. We argue that the length scale relevant to this effect is {Lambda}={phi}{sup 2}{sub 0}/8{pi}{ital T}{sub {ital m}}.
