The Daring Dufas
Note that the Navy also uses nautical miles for surface distance (and
yards for torpedoes). All of the conversions are trivial for the few
times they're necessary. Certainly easier than the entire service
changing. The same is true for domestic use of FPS. With calculators
and computers, it's even more true.
You can't teach an old Swabby new tricks. Perhaps the reprogramming of a
sailor's brain is more difficult? ^_^
