For far fetched try Alan Evan's Cdr David Cochrane Smith series starting with Thunder at Dawn, set in the WW1 Royal Navy. However, the stories are told so well that their underlying improbability is rendered somewhat less obvious.
I knew that when I bought it in a 2nd hand bookshop. As I was on holidays and in need of something new to read the cover caught my eye and the subject matter was right so I picked it up for AU$5.

I'm going to revisit some of the earlier books if I can get hold of any. Amazone looks like the best candidate for that at the moment.

Evans sounds interesting so might look his books up while I'm at it.
