Best book I have seen on Naval tactics

Although written as a text book. A person can read this book and get an appreciation of the problems of naval warfare particularly involving fleet. Many historical problems that I have heard. Such as why the German's in WW1 did not use their fleet much more and why the Japanese kept splitting their fleet in WW2 are explained here very well. I have learnt a lot from this book.

Excelent summary of tactical principles

These principles are clarified with historical battles and their results. It also include the evolution of naval tactis with techology.

He provides simple examples of operations...
