Re read Barrett Tillman's Clash of the Carriers for the umpteeth time. (Battle of the Phil Sea)

I have been reading the Oregon Files by Clive Cussler, but I'm not sure if you could count that as a "Naval Book."

I've been on a 1960s Cold War theme lately. Currently reading 'The Bedford Incident' by Mark Rascovich. Before that I read 'October Fury' by Peter Huchthausen and 'DEFCON-2' by Norman Polmar and John Gresham.

Cruiser by Mike Carlton is a great book about HMAS Perth. A great read for any Aussie Naval enthusiast. Another great read if you like strategy is the WW2 Maritime section of the Evolution of Strategy by Heuser.

I just finished reading Hornfischer's book on the USS Houston (Ship of Ghosts), HMAS Perth is mentioned in detail, but I might have to order the Mike Carlton book.

Shinano: The Sinking of Japan's Secret Supership
by Capt. Joseph F. Enright & James W. Ryan

The combination of poor planning and just plain luck in this story is nothing short of amazing.

The Search for HMAS Sydney
Janes Warships Recognition Guide (Revised)
The Lost Ships - Robert Ballard

Now I'm reading Cruisers of World War Two by M J Whitley
The Illustrated Directory of Warships, from 1860 to the present day by David Miller is also a very interesting one, well, at least that's my opinion.
Both are very informative and I love the style and the language, not too complicated

Currently perusing "Combat Fleets of the world - 1988/89£ and the Janes combined weapon systems book for 1973/74. They'd make good impact weapons as well as books...
