Wow, Im a little overwhelmed by the responses, thanks everyone, I have my work cut out for me just looking at all of the books mentioned.
I always buy hardcover if I can, (curious about why the 1st edition is best though?) Im into the techincal books as well as personal stories, the latter I find the most intriguing but a great techincal book with pics & detialed specs are great as well.
"The Boat" is definitely on my list (seen the movie at least 10 times, have to read the book!). I'll have to copy all these responses and save them somewhere, I cant possibly buy them all right away but I want to keep the suggestions around where I can find them. I do like to collect books on WW2, so already having a large plane library its time to move onto ships, and U-boats.
Again, thank you all very much! (this community is awesome btw)
Cheers
