Need A Book Recommendation
I just got done reading Conway's Battleships, there are plenty of books out there but is there anyone would recommend about either British or German battleships. I am pretty open to any material about either subject, also let me know if there any books I should definately stay away from.

Not a definitive list by any means. Depending on how much you want to spend, some of these are better buys than others. And there are a ton of books about the individual ships and ship classes. And since you did ask, I am not a fan of Jane's Battleships of the 20th Century.
