Fathom (fathom) to Nautical Mile (nMi) Conversion
This tool converts fathom to nautical mile. Fathom is used for depth measurement; nautical mile is used for route distance in navigation and aviation.
1 fathom = 6 feet
1 nautical mile = 6076.12 feet
Therefore: 1 fathom ≈ 6 / 6076.12 ≈ 0.00098747 nMi
Related conversions: fathom to mile, foot to nautical mile, meter to nautical mile
1 fathom ≈ 0.00098747 nMi
10 fathoms ≈ 0.0098747 nMi
100 fathoms ≈ 0.098747 nMi
1,000 fathoms ≈ 0.98747 nMi
Fathom is used for depth and rope length; nautical mile is used in route planning for navigation and aviation. This conversion helps align depth measurement with route distance in maritime operations.
• Navigation: Convert fathom-based anchoring or depth work to route distance (nMi).
• Marine engineering: Underwater construction projects use fathom for depth and nMi for area coverage.
• Diving operations: Efficient conversion between precise depth (fathom) and route limits (nMi).
nMi ≈ fathom × 0.00098747
Example: 600 fathoms ≈ 600 × 0.00098747 = 0.59248 nMi
Example: 1,000 fathoms ≈ 0.98747 nMi
