Book suggestions?

I just finished _Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat_ by Capt. Wayne Hughes Jr.
Any suggestions for books in a similar vein?

Six Frigates by Ian Toll is an excellent account of the early US Navy from the end of the Revolution through the War of 1812.

Here's a previous WAB thread re: naval books, where you should be able to find some suggestions.

Last Naval Book read and opinon of it.

...sure wish we could combine these and make 'em a sticky thread.
