You might try "Age of the Dreadnought" which was the pre 
Dreadnought/Dreadnought expansion
to Age of Iron rules (American Civil War Naval rules). The only 
criticism I had was that the
author came out with the rules a little too fast (after Age of Iron was 
a success) and they needed
some additional research. The British armor is rated a little too high 
while the American and Russian
armor is rated too low. The rules play quick and are easy to learn.

I have not been heavily into the newer sets of naval rules but I have 
tried some of the early
computer moderated rules and they worked out OK.
