Take your ruler line drawing tool and draw a line from .4 miles on the distance scale, connected with 3 minutes on the time scale. Extend the line if you have to so it crosses the third scale. Where it crosses on that will tell you the ship is going 8 knots. Good enough or should I cook up a screenshot?

No that's fine thanks, it just so happens that I got 8 knots when i used the nomograph too, so i'm guessing I was using it the right way
its just 8 knots seemd a bit fast to me for a freighter :S lol
