>>13233961>(3ft/yd)*(2yd/fm)*(100fm/cable)*(10cable/Nm)*1Nm=6000ftExcept that is wrong. 1Nm is equal to 6080ft; which means there should be 2026.666666 yards in a nautical mile. Today, in the US, they are defined more precisely as 6076.12ft; which would be 2025.373333 yards. In either case, they aren't equal to 6000ft; which is what would be required for a nautical mile to be 2000 yards.
