LOL! Any of Norman Polmar's books are worth the (hefty!) price. The best works are his 13th, 14th and 15th Editions of The Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet. Don't know if they are availbale through e-books, but the Naval Institute Press is the source. Problem is that you have to be a member of the Naval Institute in order to get books at anything close to a reasonable price. Still...the books are well worth every penny!
Combat Fleets of the World is also available through NIP, of the two the Editions give you a better overview of the USN, but the Combat Fleets are hard to beat for a broad overview. At least as well researched as any of the Jane's, but not as pricey!
