I am sorry to say this but, I don't know much about the Roman Navy! :oops:
If anyone is willing to fill me in on this huge flaw, please, do so!

The basic book on the subject is:
Starr, C.G. "The Roman Imperial Navy) - currently 3rd edition (1993), - ISBN 0890055440.
More recent, and specific is:
Mason's (2003) "Roman Britain and the Roman Navy" - ISBN 0752425412.
In my opinion these are the best place to start. Was there something specifically you are wondering about?
Cordially,
Michael

Salvete!
If you're interested in the early imperial fleet there is a great publication by Dr. Heinrich Konen, "Classis Germanica. Die römische Rheinflotte im 1. - 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr, St. Katharinen 2000."
Information about the navis lusoria, a 3rd-4rd century AD warship, you'll find in Hans Ferkel et al., "Navis Lusoria. Ein Römerschiff in Regensburg, St. Katharinen 2004."
Valete!
