Knots being phased out?
Hi,
I have been told that all new equipment, chartplotters, speedometers and the like will not have knots as a speed option. Knots will be phased out and KPH will be the new standard for marine equipment. Has anybody heard of this? If so where? Some links please if available. Thanks Oliver Fleming |

Isn't KPS "Knots per Hour" = "Knots"?
This sounds exceedingly unlikely. It isn't just boating but the entire aviation world that would have to convert if the nautical mile was abandoned. |

Since the nautical mile is defined as one minute of latitude, I doubt it
will ever disappear in earth based navigation. Roger Long wrote: Isn't KPS "Knots per Hour" = "Knots"? This sounds exceedingly unlikely. It isn't just boating but the entire aviation world that would have to convert if the nautical mile was abandoned. |

This is true. USCG is reporting that the term and nautical application of "knot" will be replaced in 2014 by Grek-Gohk!, which is the Klingon unit equal to .987, .878, and .799 miles depending on sea conditions. Cheers, Robert B Beneteau 35s5 NY |
