Kamchatka peninsula just had its 3rd big (over 7.5 on richter scale) earthquake within 60 days, when I hear watch the water I am also thinking tsunami. But I suppose deep sea entities could raise up a fuss too.Also, marine vessels travel in knots, not mph.What naval personnel would describe a vessel traveling in mph?

That's a good question, although when I'm discussing things like length or distance, I automatically convert what I'm saying from inches/feet/miles to centimeters/meters/kilometers as a courtesy when I'm speaking with someone that uses the metric system.
I imagine some naval people probably do that as a courtesy because they are conscientious enough to know that knots mean nothing to the layman.
