SI unit or not?

This page says that the Nautical Mile is a SI unit. However, the Nautical mile article says that it is not an SI unit. Is it or isn't it? 192.104.39.2 (talk) 22:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Nautical Mile is not an SI unit (nor is the Geographical Mile), and the article no longer says so. The SI unit of length is the metre (or meter, in American English). For longer distances the kilometer is used, which is 1000 metre (kilo being the metric prefix for 1000). The fact that the Nautical Mile is defined in metres (1 nm = 1852 m) does not make it an SI unit. Full explanation is in the Wikipedia articles on SI (fully International System of Units) and metric system. — Jahoe (talk) 13:32, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
