Anyone have any reccommended materials to aid in ship design with SpringSharp?  I have quite a few Barnes and Nobles gift cards lying around and want to know if any of you have any favorite books, etc.

Jane's Ships of WWI might be the place to start if you can find it. Its not really accurate but has plenty of ships.

I would recommend individual years of Jane's, but you shouldn't find those at any book store.  I bought mine off e-Bay.  Conways is good and seems to have more accurate information, but I do not have those myself.

Jane's WW1 is at our local library - well, less often than I have it checked out.  ;D

Conway's is more accurate, but pricier.

NavWeaps is a good source for gun, torpedo, mine etc. information.

This site is also good for German ships. :)
