: Hi William, Frank & Glen,
: 
: A nautical mile is 6076 feet.
: A statute mile is 5028 feet.
: 
: Maritime operations use nautical mileage.
: Speed of ships is given in Knots.
: A knot is equal to the speed of 1 nautical mile per hour.
: A craft making good 30 knots is going 30 nautical miles in one hour.
: 
: Do not say, "Knots per hour"
: The knot is speed, not distance.
: 
: FWIW,
