I really have too many books to count. Most of them are Naval oriented, but a couple are warplanes and a couple are on tanks. Almost all of my Technical Manuals are Naval ships including a full copy of Gen Specs in addition to 3 volumes of 16" turrets.

Also have a two volume set I wrote as a design study in how to protect an 1800 man crew of an Iowa class from ABC attack (the trick is to suit up REAL quick - How to do that took a full year of study).

Lots of stuff on the Bismarck a friend and I were studying (we were going to write an adventure novel on it until Ballard found the ship). However, my main interest was why Lutjens did what he did. But I'm not going to post my theory because it would be very controversial (though logical based upon my vivid imagination).
