Start with Blind Man's Bluff by Sheryl Zontag, then move to a good reference book like Submarine: A Guided Tour Inside A Nuclear Warship (Tom Clancy)
then if you like, these are my suggestions:
Submarine Torpedo Tactics: An American History - Edward M. Jones
History of Russian Underwater Accoustics - Oleg A. Godin
Stalking the Red Bear - Peter Sasgen
Making a Submarine Officer - Alex C Fleming
Watertight: How I survived submarine service without loosing my mind - Karl William Heckmann
Submarine Operations during the Falklands - Lt. Cmdr Steven R. Harper
Secrets of the Conqueror - Stuart Prebble
Red November - W Craig Reed
SSN - Tom Clancy
Scorpion Down - Ed Offley
Submarine Design and Development - Norman Friedmann
Cold Choices - Larry Bond
Wahoo - Richard O'Kane
Edit: Almost forgot:
Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat - Wayne P. Hughes (Awesome book on naval tactics)
