Andrew says that the what is in Pepys confuses the father and son John Wood

Andrew says about John Wood:
I think that in your biography of the captain John Wood are presents the elements of the service another captain by this name. The first John Wood served in the navy from 1660 to 1672 (or - 1673), and he served as captain of the ships. The second John Wood (junior), who was died in 1682, was begin his service in the navy (as lieutenant and captain)really from 1672 (or 1671). I think that this services appointments - In 1671, he was appointed as 2nd Lieutenant of the 1st Rate St. Andrew. He served as lieutenant, in 1673, on the Assistance, the Princess, and the Lion. Then, Prince Rupert appointed [him] as 3rd Lieutenant on the Sovereign - It is a begin of naval career of the second John Wood (d.1682), not a first captain John Wood (died after 1672). I think that a last appointment of the first captain John Wood was this - In 1672, Prince Rupert appointed him to command the 4th Rate Kent. He served under John Narborough in late 1672.
