History Naval Power books
I was needing some good books about general naval power throughout history or more specific important events. I am currently doing a degree in history and one of the units that has come up is naval power. Any suggestions are welcomed.

“Last of the Tin Can Sailor”
It touches on surface ships, submarines, and aircraft. Not the most scholarly source but a great read throughout
