What for was Nautical Mile needed later and till now, its continued equation to 1852 m? Unless scrapped, otherwise, I would like to suggest: Nautical Kilometre to be *1/100th of ONE degree arc-angle* and define new Metre (m') =1.11194886884 m......metric countries in that time, was metric: altitudes in meters, speeds in km/h and distances in km. No nautical miles were asked for before 1945. The only reason for keeping the nautical mile is tradition, the same thing.....

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****
