I messed that up. I now believe that part of our difficulties is the language barrier and I am not understanding your wording because of it. I will try to look closer to see what you are saying from now on.

Concerning my first post about our different calculations of 29.1 and 31. I looked at it again and I should have said they were close enough. I was thinking it but I did not do it. I thought that people would understand that they were, that is why I said the "Apples and Oranges" phrase. In the following paragraph I should have said "at those distances" instead of "at that distance".

I am sorry for that confusion, I was too focused on trying to say that the tip of a mast is too small to see that far away. In actual fact, I was surprised that they were that close together because elsewhere in other threads I had seen people saying you should see further based on the height of the extended periscope.

The reason I don't want to talk about the mod and make any suggestions is because I do not know exactly what is being done on the mod and my speculating on ranges would not be helpful. From what I see from the log entries being posted, I believe that a good average may be arrived at, and they certainly don't need me.

---thats really very 'strange' for me. they talk for miles on sea and they are using the international mile ? i can't say anything more...it is just 'strange',thats it what i was thinking as i was glancing to the link

Yes, documents like those are prepared for more than just the Navy, there are others like politicians, bureaucrats, and scientists who may have no understanding of a nautical mile when they are familiar with other measurements. Even though my country has been using the Metric system for a long time, I still find it hard to judge measurements since I grew up using using the Imperial system.
