As VonHelsching wrote, may be an old therm, but not used in last years, my job is to navigate from 20 years ago, and we call them "nautical miles".

Stiebler's post conviced me thet there might be a case for nautical and not statute miles. Furthermore the vintage term sea miles might be the case, since we are talking about a vintage era (1940)
