The only one I am familiar with is Larry Bond's Harpoon. Used to be published under GDW, not sure who has the rights at the moment, however.

I've been using Harpoon for over 20yrs and wouldn't use anything else.

Harpoon always has been and remains the golden standard for modern naval.

Why, in my day, we didn't have counters. We had to paint the unit values onto little rocks. maps?! Hah! We had no paper maps! We put our rocks in the dirt. It sucked when it rained, but we soldiered on!!! Don't get me started on dice...
