Pretty sure it's this one, though the cover isn't what I remember.

Two very interesting books that I have read on the warships of that era are Six Frigates, and If by Sea. They both deal with some of the political stuff around the building of the US navy's first ships, etc. If by Sea covers alot of stuff, and has generally fewer battles, etc. Six Frigates is a easier reading and goes into some fascinating detail about the construction methods employed by Joshua Humphreys.
What book did you recently complete?
