British/American nautical measure adds a number of units to the United States customary and the British Imperial units of length or distance. Prior to 1959, the units had been slightly different in the two countries: British Imperial nautical measure was based on the British Imperial Yard, and United States nautical measure was based on the United States customary yard. With the 1959 agreement unifying the two systems, both were made equal to the International yard.

  • British/American nautical measure adds a number of units to the United States customary and the British Imperial units of length or distance. Prior to 1959, the units had been slightly different in the two countries: British Imperial nautical measure was based on the British Imperial Yard, and United States nautical measure was based on the United States customary yard. With the 1959 agreement unifying the two systems, both were made equal to the International yard. The units in the British/American nautical measure that are additional to the United States customary and British Imperial systems are listed in the table below. It should be noted that the nautical chain was only used in the United Kingdom, and the cable length and nautical league are essentially obsolete.
