Nautical Mile (International)

A nautical mile (international) is a unit of measurement used primarily in maritime and aviation contexts. It is defined as 1,852 meters or 1.852 kilometers, which is approximately 1.1508 statute miles. The nautical mile is based on the Earth's geometry, representing one minute of latitude along any meridian. This makes it particularly useful for navigation, as distances on charts and GPS systems often relate directly to degrees of latitude and longitude. The international nautical mile was officially adopted by the United States in 1954 and is now used worldwide for consistency in global navigation. It is closely linked with the knot, a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. The standardization of the nautical mile has greatly simplified communication and coordination in international travel, trade, and defense across oceans and airspace. Its use continues to be essential in global navigation systems today.

Fathom (US Survey)

The fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used in U.S. surveying and nautical contexts, defined as exactly 6 US survey feet. Since one US survey foot is approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey fathom measures about 1.828804 meters.

Like the international fathom, it is primarily used to measure water depths and underwater distances in marine navigation and surveying.

Key details:

1 US survey fathom = 6 US survey feet
1 US survey fathom ≈ 1.828804 meters
1 fathom = 2 yards

Though the difference between the US survey fathom and the international fathom is very small, the US survey units are being phased out in favor of international standards, but they still appear in some legal and historical surveying documents.
