Some common science fiction books that might be on such a list could be 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card. It has great military - like strategy elements which could be appealing in a navy - related context. Another one could be 'Starship Troopers' by Robert A. Heinlein which also involves military - science - fiction concepts.
I think 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams might be there too. It's a humorous take on science fiction with all kinds of crazy ideas about the universe, aliens, and space travel. Although it's comical, it still has some concepts that are relevant to thinking about the vastness of space which could be important in a navy context related to space exploration or just understanding different perspectives on the cosmos.
Begin with books that have been made into movies or TV shows, such as 'Ender's Game'. Since you might be familiar with the basic plot from the visual media, it'll be easier to get into the book. Then, gradually explore other books on the reading list. Read reviews and join science fiction reading groups to discuss and get more ideas about what to read next.
I'd recommend 'Battlestar Galactica' novels if they count. They have a great space navy with the fight against the Cylons. 'Ender's Game' also has elements of a space navy in the later parts, especially with the battle school training for space warfare. And then there's 'A Fire Upon the Deep' which has a very imaginative take on space navies across different regions of space.
I think 'Avatar' has some elements of a space navy in the background story. The ships that bring the humans to Pandora are like a space navy. 'Interstellar' also has some space exploration ships which can be related to the idea of a space navy in a way. And of course, 'The Matrix Reloaded' has some cool space ship scenes that could be part of a space navy concept.
Some great historical fiction books include 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett. It vividly depicts the building of a cathedral in 12th - century England, with complex characters and a detailed look at the society of that time. Another is 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel, which focuses on the life of Thomas Cromwell during the Tudor period. It gives a fresh perspective on the politics and court life of Henry VIII's reign.
Well, some classic ones like 'Dune' by Frank Herbert and 'Foundation' by Isaac Asimov are must-reads. They have complex worlds and thought-provoking ideas.

Well, 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson is a must - read in the cyberpunk sub - genre of science fiction. It introduced many concepts that are now common in the genre, like virtual reality and cyberspace. 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut is also a good pick. While it's not strictly traditional science fiction, it has elements of time travel and an otherworldly view of war. And 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells is a simple yet profound exploration of time and the possible future of humanity.
