Naval Form Terminology
Hi all,
Context:
The document is a log-navigation data sheet.
https://media.defense.gov/2017/Oct/23/2001830891/-1/-1/0/CG_...
The one I have is already filled in.
It´s a sheet where the information about a vessel has been written.
Under the steer compass column, there are some numbers, but also a letter "S" is written on some lines.
The term:
"S"
What could it mean? Or do you think I should just write it the same, since it might be a universal unit of measure?
Thank you for your help

Erratum:
Donde puse "Brújla" debe decir "Brújula"...
Y nadie debe olvidar que una "brújula" es una "viéjula montada en una escóbula"... (¡Seamos serios!)

You're welcome, Andrés. ;-)

Absolutely understand the "people will get fed up with you" and "are you serious". I've spoken with the client, who is clueless himself but will arrange for a person from the Navy to review the difficult terms after I've finished my part. I am nothing but grateful to all the experienced and knowledgable people who have helped me out. There shall be no more questions as of now for this document.
