Three naval books to take to the Admiralty in 1905

Which three naval books would be most useful to the British Admiralty in 1905?

Take Raven and Roberts's British Battleships of World War II, Friedman's British Submarines in Two World Wars, and Jordan's Warships After Washington.

The three choices are Alan Raven and John Roberts's British Battleships of World War II, Norman Friedman's British Submarines in Two World Wars, and John Jordan's Warships After Washington. Their technical histories would supply design detail and warn of later pitfalls, including those associated with the Hawkins class. With extra books allowed, the answer adds works on naval intelligence, The Price of Victory, and Andrew Lambert's Admirals. The imagined application removes wing turrets and proposes fifteen 14-inch guns in five triple turrets on a 24-knot dreadnought. The proposed advantage is that competitors would have to develop new heavy guns as well as ships.
