To really dig into it, Samuel Eliot Morison's magisterial History of Naval Operations in World War II does a good job talking through the development of both the technology and organization of naval operations.

Man, that looks like a hard series of books to actually get a hold of. Either spending multiple hundreds of dollars for a used set, or struggle to find individual copies for $15+ each (a quick google search seems to show Vol 2 unavailable anywhere I looked).



I think there's a new paperback printing under way. Happily, it's not the end of the world acquiring them piecemeal, as each volume tells a coherent story and takes some time to read through!


Many libraries have it. I remember spending many hours in the 940.54 section of my local public library thumbing through volumes when I was a kid.
