Naval Ballistics (Off topic)

Can anyone out there recommend any useful (and quite basic) work on naval
ballistics? (Any replies should probably by personal mail rather than to the
list.)
I have gathered up a 1/2 MB list of naval guns ranging from Tudor to
modern and I curious about some of the figures. For example what is 'Danger
Space' (from the Jane's WW I reprint)? I have a copy of Brasays' Military
Ballistics (deadly dull) and various bits and pieces gathered up from a
variety of sources including an
article on the KV-3 tank in a back issue of the excellent Journal of the

Society of 20th Century Wargamers which gives a formulae for working out

(maximum theoretical) penetration but I think I need something more specific.
