Kilometers versus Nautical Miles Etc

The Kriegsmarine used knots for speed and nautical miles for distance travelled. All attack plots were in meters, just as in the US Navy they were done in yards.

Correct on the tactical plots - but I was referring more to the navigation mapping tools, and the reports of the NA on distance to end plot, next plot, etc. Making circles on the map to make SURE I am far enuf away from things to save the game! And other mundane tasks.

Ah, gotcha. Are they in km? I seem to have never noticed.
