For galleys, Avalon Hill's Trireme is a fine product.  It's about as 
complex as WS&IM (although it has no "basic" rules).  War Galley, a
recent GMT offering on the subject is really much more of a fleet-level
game.  To my mind it doesn't have the emphasis on individual ships needed
to make it work as an RPG annex.

Of course, Trireme was long out of print even before AH bought the farm,
but as TFT'ers we should be used to that state of affairs.
