There are several specific texts that could help you out. First is the 'Blue Jackets Manual'. This the text issued to Seamen during Basic, and covers pretty much everything you could ever want to know about functioning in the Navy (Think 'Boy Scout Handbook' for sailors). Secondly, there is a smaller text issued to officers called 'Reefpoints' that is issued to Midshipmen at the Naval Academy.

As for politics, I can't recommend 'The Caine Mutiny' highly enough (the book, not the movie). Speaking as a salvage ship veteran, that book could have been written by any of the junior officers onboard, despite being set in WWII.
