This question been bothering me since SHIII came out. Since the nautical mile (1 sec of arc-1851 meters) been the standard for sea navigation, is it historically correct to use kilometers? Did the Kriegsmarine navigators convert miles to kilometers for their plots? I find it annoying to have to convert to and from kilometers in the different calculations one needs to do in SHIII. :hmm:
