warship international volumes are really good, but outside of them and the obligatory Conways and Janes encyclopedias, my own library consist mostly of russian books about soviet era. |

Before you go spending tons of money on books I would delve through the internet more as well as check out used book stores there is soo much information out there. |

Off the top of my head... Robert K Massie: Castles of Steel, Dreadnought. John Tolland: Infamy Nathaniel Philbrick: In the Heart of the Sea. D K Brown: The Royal Navy and the Falklands War. Norman Friedman's many books. |

It's a walkthrough of what considerations and factors that goes into designing a warship. It's a bit dated in terms of the exact systems it covers and it has a strictly western view of things, but it's still perfectly applicable. |

If you are interested in the Imperial Japanese Navy, I recommend the book: Kaigun, by David Evans and Mark R. Peattie. It is an excellent history of Japan's navy, from its very beginning up until the end of WWII. |
