A knot :-
''In navigation, unit by which a ship's speed is measured, equivalent
to one nautical mile per hour (one knot equals about 1.15 miles per hour). ...
Appendix E Measurement Conversions. Tacman.
''1nm = 2025 yds = 1852 m =1.8 km. **However**
For simplicitys sake a nautical mile is often rounded to 2000 yds; this is the convention ' which was used in Sub Command.
Therefore 1nm = 2000 yds = 1829 m = 1.8 km. ( In SC .)
Range scale in DW is in nm and yards(where the scale is less than 1 nm.)
