In the usual tradition, let this be a thread where links to good information on WWII naval history be gathered! If the mod deems it worthwhile, let's sticky this. :)
First, we got to have the Wikipedia stuff.. as usual, wikipedia isn't a good reference, but a good starting point. Quick links:
National Navies
Imperial Japanese Navy (Pre- and WWII)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Japanese_Navy
List of IJN ships (and also JMSDF, so be careful)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_of_the_Japanese_Navy
United States Navy (Pre, WWII and modern)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USN
Royal Navy (Pre, WWII and modern)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy
Kriegsmarine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriegsmarine
Regia Marina
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regia_Marina
Chronicle of Events
The Pacific Theater of War
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_War
The European Theater of War
The Atlantic War:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_the_Atlantic
Battle of the Mediterranean:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Mediterranean
Non-Wikipedia Links
This is quite an interesting site on several noted IJN ships and their eventual resting place. It's a bit heavy going, but worthwhile (at least to me. :) ):

I'll periodically sweep through the thread and append sites to this post.
