Well, they sank more ships, didn't they?
I'm not "reading" anything right now, but I spend a couple of hours every day inside my reference books:
Jutland, An Analysis Of The Fighting, by John Campbell (a Jutland book for bean counters)
Naval Weapons Of World War Two, by same
Jane's and Conway's ship series
Warship Quarterly (now yearly) by Conway
The Battleship Dreadnought, by John Roberts (a book for rivet counters)
World War II, Day By Day, from Time-Life
World War I, Day By Day, by I don't remember who
Three different Civil War Day By Day books
British Battleships, 1889-1904, by RA Burt
U.S. Cruisers, by Norman Friedman
German Destroyers Of World War Two, by MJ Whitley
The U-Boat War: 1914-1918, by Edwin Gray
Yes, I have my nose in most of them almost every day.
Here's one I've had for a while but still haven't read: Psychological Factors In Submarine Warfare, by the US Navy Department.
