Thanks for the post. Get ready to hear you double posted part of it. The hall monitors can't help themselves sometimes.

You did fine.

This was a pretty good article until the end when they brought up the silly rearrangement of the sea bottom bit.

I know that. A nautical mile is 6,000 feet as compared to the regular mile of 5,280 ft.

But this will generate protests, because active sonar disturbs the fish.

:sigh:

55 * 0.6214 = 34.2 mph / 1.15 = 29.8 knots

"an uncharted seamount"

I was at a talk a few weeks ago with a world renound oceanographer who said there is no accurate accounting of seamounts in the world. We have charted and named thousands and thousands of stars in galaxies far, far away yet even our military has no idea of the location of most of the seamounts in the oceans of this world.

Dunnigan is very smart and has lots of contacts in the military. Knows an awful lot about the Navy for a former Sargent Missile man! ;-)

Nope: 1 Nautical Mile is approx 6,076 feet, which explains the difference between Knots and (statute) miles per hour, but has little to do with the conversion between kph and mph.

Develop a thick hide. Everyone who posts here has made his/her share of mistakes. Shortly you'll get better and be able to slam others. LOL

Take care. Enoy the ride...
