If your of a mind for the subject matter (and you can find a copy), I highly recommend Nicholas Monsarrat's "The Cruel Sea." While it's a fictional account of the officers and crew of one of the Royal Navy's convoy escorts (small ships, such as corvettes and frigates) during the Battle of the Atlantic during WWII, the author was an officer assigned to just this duty at that time.
While the film version (starring Jack Hawkins) was good, I think the book was better.
