Within reason, of course, say ten years. Also, are these American pictures? If so, here are some clues. If the pictures are WW II or later, look above the left breast pocket. If there is a scrolly badge, you are probably looking at a "dolphin" badge, and this was a submariner. You can see an example here: http://www.nimr.org/insignia.html The pre-nuclear aren't quite the same as the modern day, but pretty close. Other than the dolphins, navy uniforms look pretty much the same.
