Why convert mile/second to velocity of sound in pure water?

Converting mile/second to the velocity of sound in pure water helps compare very high aerospace speeds to underwater acoustic speeds, useful for cross-domain analyses.

Does the velocity of sound in pure water remain constant?

No, it varies mainly with water temperature and pressure, so the conversion uses an average speed typical near 20 °C and atmospheric pressure.

Can this converter be used for underwater speed measurements?

The unit mile/second is used for extremely high speeds rarely seen underwater; this conversion is primarily for theoretical comparison and specific scientific contexts.
