I don't know - naval warfare in WW2 could be pretty grim.
I can recommend Nicholas Monsarrat's "Three Corvettes" on his wartime naval experiences - I happened to buy this without knowing much about the book in Heathrow before a flight over the North Atlantic to the US. One of the relatively small number of books that has moved me to tears.

He also wrote the novel "The Cruel Sea" which was made into one of the best naval war movies of WW2.
