Can anyone recommend some WW1 naval fiction books? Thanks.

I liked "The Last Raider"
By Douglas Reeman.

2nd that recommendation for Reeman. "The African Queen," I think by C.S. Forester is WW I. There is the WW I prequel of
"The Riddle of the Sands" by Erskine Childers.

Brown on Resolution by C.S Forester.

Not(quite) WWI, but there is a bit of naval action in Robert Conroy's "1901".

There's a set of WW1 naval books by Alan Evans. I've read a couple and they are definitely on the "action" side of the literature spectrum, for good or ill. I think the first book in the series is called "Thunder at Dawn".

Gunboat and Gun-runner, A Tale of the Persian Gulf by Surgeon Admiral T T Jeans. He wrote another book, similar subject but different actions. Great reading and full of scenario posibilities.

I rather liked Alexander Fullerton's The Nicholas Everard Series, of which the first three being WWI, with The Blooding of the Guns covering the battle of the Skagerrak.
