What reading level is The American Navy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The title of our Order, the military character of its organization, the terms of its ritual, and the preponderance in its ranks of those who served in the Army, have in very great degree obscured the foct that our membership comprises many who served in the Navy.
Believing that this Post should give outward sign that it cordi- ally welcomes to its ranks all who aided in the suppression of the Rebellion, whether' on sea or on land, the comrades who served in the jSTavy desire to present to the P...ost an appropriate emblem of that branch of the service, and they have therefore requested me in their name and on their behalf to ask your acceptance of this Union Jack.
Why thej' should honor me with the pleasant duty, instead of selecting from their own number some one of the many better fitted than myself I cannot imagine, unless it is that the innate modesty of the sailor would prevent any one of them from giving due prominence to the merits of the service ; certainly in selecting one whose knowledge of ships is scarcely greater than was his who sang, "And that junior partnership I ween, Was the only ship that I ever had seen," these comrades have not rendered themselves liable to the charge of choosing an unduly biased advocate.
