Currently going through a Norman Friedman phase, and I'm slowly working my way through his US Submarine Since 1945. It's good stuff, but damn, is it heavy. Cold War Submarines is a lot more readable, but it doesn't go into even half the detail Friedman does with post-war sonar, asw tactics, submarine design, fire control, and so on.
I paid a lot for it, but if you're seriously into the nitty-gritty stuff, it's worth it.
