What is a nautical league (int.)?

It is a historical maritime length equal to 3 international nautical miles or 5,556 meters, used to express distances at sea.

What does 'mil' stand for in length measurement?

A mil, also called a thou, is one thousandth of an inch, commonly used to specify small thicknesses and tolerances in manufacturing and electronics.

Why convert nautical leagues to mils?

This conversion helps translate large historical maritime distances into very fine measurements essential for precise engineering and archival purposes.
