"British Submarines at War 1939-45" I have a copy of buried in my boxes of old books. It is a good general history of the subject. But no ULTRA info, so it can't tell the real story of all those poor Italian Convoys that were 'found' and attacked.
The Jutland book I read in paperback many years ago, the first book on Jutland that I clearly understood the battle and the ship movements.
William Kimber published a wealth of books on the R.N. many of which I bought way back when. "Valient Quartet " is perhaps one of the best covering the British A.A. Cruiser rebuilds in great depth. "Arctic Destroyers".
