Talk:John J. Almy

You say Almy held the record for seagoing service in the US Navy -  twenty-seven years and ten months. You then say '...as well as fourteen years and eight months on shore.'

This does not add up to the forty-eight years, indicated by his dates of service, quoted as 1829-1877. Valetude (talk) 18:08, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

P.S. Were they taking off four years for his service in the Union Navy, which was not called the US Navy? Valetude (talk) 18:10, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
