    Handbook of the Fleet / Navy 1943/44
    Gilt on boards and spine, warship lists of all the major powers.

It also gives other essential data like displacement - tonnage, speed in knots, armaments, armour and depth of keel for any identified target- without which a torpedo firing solution could not be calculated.
