Endurance

[edit]

I'm having trouble reconciling two different statements of Benbow's endurance - one says roughly 14,000 nmi, the other roughly 14,000 km, both at 10 knots / 19 km/h. They can't both be right. The lower figure seems much more likely, but I don't have a source. I fear the same error afflicts the article on sister ship HMS Iron Duke (1912).
