In the past I've read quite a bit of naval history, especially material that relates to the Royal Canadian Navy and especially the Royal Navy. But over the past 15 years I've spent more time reading for work than for pleasure! I've just finished reading The Loss of the Bismarck by Graham Rhys-Jones and it was a reminder of how much I enjoy reading historical research and analsys related to naval actions and campaigns.

I'm curious if anybody could recommend books or papers that you think are especially worth reading about the Royal Navy (or the Royal Canadian Navy) from around the time of Jackie Fisher's first stint as First Sea Lord, until say decolonization under Harold MacMillian's first government. Basically overalp between the two wars and the policies that came just before and after. Other writing related other naval powers might also be of interest. My favourite book on the topic is probably Kaigun by Evans and Peattie.

I've studied history at an undergraduate level (history minor as part of a BA), I only mention this because I'd be very interested in primary sources that are publically available and/or good papers and academic material, not just popular history if you know of things worth reading.
