2002 DEC 04 WED What branches of the US armed forces use SI, and to what degree?  I think the Army does, but I know that the Navy does not.

There was an illustration with information abouta "Grail" missile with such specifications as "Length: 4ft., 11 in. (launcher)" and "Weight: 9.2 lbs. (launcher)." . . . I visited www.jane.com on the web and saw that all specifications and data were given using SI, or the modern metric system. Our military, of course, uses the SI in its operations now. . .
