I don't think anyone has yet mentioned JEH Spaul, "Classes Imperii Romani: an Epigraphic Examination of the Men of the Roman Imperial Navy", (2002):
http://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780952506218/...506211/plp
(I is probably fair to say that it is more of a research volume than a reading volume!)
The volume from Conway's "History of the Ship" edited by Morrison, "The Age of the Galley", (1995) is still available and has quite a lot of information, as well as being beautifully illustrated - with a contents preview on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Age-Galley-M...51779557#_
There are a few (even more!) specialised titles on things like the corvus boarding bridge or the Athlit ram head which might be worth adding, and various titles relating to Greek naval matters and the trireme Olympias which are probably also relevant to the naval bibliography - depending on the time frame being considered.
Regards,
John
