RE:
a ship measures speed in knots, how fast is that in mph?

A knot is actually a distance. A natuical mile is 6000 feet as opposed to 5280 for a statute mile. Multiply a ships speed in knots by 1.136 and you get MPH. Divide a ships speed in MPH by 1.136 and you get knots.

A knot is a nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is 1.15 statute miles. A nautical mile is 6076 feet, and 1 minute of latitude, or 1/60 degree. So 60 nautical miles =1 degree.
Take miles per hour and divide by 1.15 to get knots
