Yankee station is what im most interested, but a comprehensive history of all naval action during the conflict would be best.

thanks, but im more interested in operations of the blue water navy, but a book that talks about both is also good.

If you're serious about your history...and more importantly...wealthy:| , you should try the famed "cruise books" from that era... I have the USS Oriskany, and I think the USS Ticonderoga somewhere...Example below.
