I have a couple of suggestions:
The Fleet The Gods Forgot by W.G. Winslow
Submarine Diary by Corwin Mendenhall
The first book covers the naval retreat right after Pearl Harbor and describes some very dark days of WWII.
The second is a personal journal kept by a young submarine officer aboard a U.S. fleet boat and his WWII Career.
Check them out! You'll enjoy them, too.
