The little bars or scales in the bottom of a ship in the recognition manual, you know that go *black white black white*, do they represent a static value in meter or yards? If so, what is it, it would be easier to find the lenght of the ship. ATM i do a rule of 3 to find it with the height of the mast. Also, im all new to nautical jargon, so what exactly is a knot worth? I saw a video that made me believe that 1 m/sec = 2 knots, is that correct ?
