About Nautical Mile (nmi) and Fathom (ftm) Units

The Nautical Mile is used for global navigation, equaling one minute of latitude (about 1.15 statute miles). Commercial airliners cruise at altitudes of 35,000-40,000 feet (about 6 nautical miles). Modern nautical charts still use this measurement, and international maritime law specifies territorial waters in nautical miles. The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level.
