Jane's Fighting Ships is very useful.

:-)

Are we talking Jane's 'all the years through'? :-(( Very expensive and
beyond me ;-(

Jane's W.W.I?

or

Jane's WWII? Got a copy, but find that 'The Dictionary of Ships of the
Royal Navy of the Second World War' by John Young, (donated to me by a
very generous shipmate) far more detailed.

Another book I purchased, is 'Shore Establishments of the Royal Navy' by
Lt Cdr B. Warlow RN (He was a Sub.Lt when he served with me on
H.M.S.Gambia in 1959) which lists shore establishments back to the year
dot :-)
