The Mammoth Book of Eyewitness Naval Battles, by Richard Russell Lawrence; 638 pages (very fine print) published by Constable & Robinson ltd, UK, 2003. US publishing by Carroll & Graf. US version $12.95.
Be warned, though: Lawrence's writing isn't very good; the only good parts are the actual eyewitness accounts. I just finished the British attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto, by one of the Swordfish pilots, Charles Lamb, along with Fuchida's account of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
