It's just that simple no matter what the pros and cons of the metric vs. imperial systems are. Since the USN used yards in WWII that's what the scale should be in SH IV. So everything should be in yards for displays, feet for depth and nautical miles for distance.
As a matter of fact I'd be a little disappointed if there was a metric toggle in SH IV. One of the strengths of SH III is the immersion factor (SHIII uses German nomenclature, weights and measures, etc.) and that attention to how it really was for each service should remain for SH IV and beyond IMHO.
