Book on the Kindle.
I'm currently reading Red Star Over the Pacific by Toshi Yoshihara and Jame R. Holmes. I'm about a third of the way through it and it's a decent book. It deals with the strategic perspective that the Chinese have followed to build their navy. It also delves into what their force may be tactically and strategically in the coming years.

I finished Red Storm Rising last night.
I have no idea what to do with myself. I don't have any more Clancy to read. I've read them all. A moment of silence.

I just finished Silent Running by James Calvert. Also read The Bravest Man, the true story of Richard O'Kane. Both were great.

You should read about O'Kane's experiences straight from the horse's mouth.
Read his "Wahoo" and "Clear the Bridge"

Very good choice jimbuna. Very informative reading matter.
Looking forward now to this book: ALLIED SUBMARINE OPERATIONS IN GREECE DURING WORLD WAR II (1941-1944) The researcher and friend Byron Tesapsides published his last book, titled „Allied Submarine Operations in Greece during World War II“, which reports, based on the allie s war diaries, regarding the operations of the following allied submarines in the Greek waters during 1941-1944: Parthian, Osiris, Perseus, Porpoise, Proteus, Rorqual, Sea Rover, Seraph, Shakespeare, Sibyl, Sickle, Simoom, Sokol, Sportsman, Surf, Tactician, Taku, Talisman, Taurus, Tetrarch, Thorn, Thraser, Thunderbolt, Torbay, Traveller, Trespasser, Trident, Triumph, Trooper, Truant, Turbulent, Ultimatum, Ultor, Unrivalled, Unruly, Unsparing, Unserving, Untiring, Upstart, Vigorous, Virtue, Visigoth, Vivid, Voracious, Vox, Vampire, Dolffjin, Dzik, Curie, Glavkos, Katsonis, Matrozos, Nereus, Pipinos, Papanikolis and Triton. All those mentioned allied submarines -included British, Greek, Polish, French and Dutch subs- observed enemy movements, laid mines, landed supplies and men for clandestine purposes and harassed and disrupted the traffic between the major ports and the outlying garrisons of the occupied Greek islands and the mainland. All those operations, against the Axis forces, were not only conducted against unarmed caiques but also against heavily armed war ships. The reader will find in Byron’s book detailed reports of all the major and minor operations based on the war diaries of the allied submarines. It is a great book which is going to help every researcher and history enthusiast who is interested in the marine operations in the Greek waters during WWII.

My newest reference arrived today: U.S. Cruisers: An Illustrated Design History, by Norman Friedman. This should be the last of the triple-digit-priced books for awhile.
