Cool! I have his book Naval Firepower, which got some mediocre reviews on Amazon. Most of the complaints concerned the fact that it's not about guns, but about the development of Fire Control - rangefinders and gun directors. I like it, but I take it for what it is, and I've learned a bit. On the other hand Peter Padfield's Guns At Sea covers the same ground with less detail but more easily understood.
