Also try Louis L'Amour's pulp series about Merchant Captain Jim Mayo -- more South Seas adventure
Tales is for purchase on YouTube right now.

West from Singapore collects the Jim Mayo stories. Off the Mangrove Coast gives some other L'Amour stories that would fit the genre. There was a smokin' hot Louis L'Amour pulp website, but I can't seem to find it now. ETA: http://www.louislamourgreatadventure.com/

Seas of Venus, about surface and subsurface action, instead of carrier action. But it fits the genre. Based on Clash by Night and Fury by Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore. Available from Baen Books.
