Wow, I do not have anywhere near the amount of reference material you have accumulated for naval subjects.  Most of my books are still in boxes in the garage – the home DIY stuff is taking way longer than anticipated.  So far this is the only book shelf I’ve got in my room since finishing the floors and walls this summer.  School started and well, DIY is paused again.  Aside from Discover the Bismarck, Hitler’s U-Boat War Vols I & II and perhaps couple others that escape memory at the moment, my naval references can be found in the bottom left corner of my book shelf.  Most are on the USS Texas with couple on amphibs.  While not purely naval, you’ll notice the majority of my references are dedicated to vehicles that spend some time in the water – LVTs and AAVs.
