The list below is not my complete collection of ship reference books, but it appears to cover most subjects... I am always in search of more published information for my WWII ships (especially battleships and cruisers) - has anyone got any more suggestions to add to the list? I am not doing this to show off, but am genuinely interested in locating more published information (i.e. books), especially Italian and French cruiser designs. More information about the WWII Soviet and the Royal Dutch Navies would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance for all suggestions and/or recommendations...
