Silent Hunter 5 uses like Silent Hunter 3 kilometers (km) as a mesaurement unit in authentic mode.
This is not correct, because the Kriegsmarine used seamiles (sm) of course.
Source:
Lehrbuch der Navigation - Für die Kriegs- und Handelsmarine, Teil 1 (1943)
§ 2. Seemeile und Abweitung
Als Maß der Entfernung auf der Erde dient in der Nautik die Seemeile.
§ 2. Seamile and Departure
As the unit for distance on the earth in navigation the seamile is used.
Usage:
Copy the executable file 'Authentic_Navigation_Units.exe' into your Silent Hunter 5 installation folder where the Silent Hunter 5 executable 'sh5.exe' is located.
Open 'Authentic_Navigation_Units.exe' and click 'Patch It!'.
You have to set units in game to metric to see the changes.
You can change the text 'nm' to 'sm' as well. It has the string-id: '1992' in '\data\Menu\menu.txt'.
To undo the patch simply click 'Unpatch It!'.
By the way UBI uses the factor 1853.9948 to calculate seamiles from meters.
Very Important:
The patch is for Silent Hunter 5 - 1.2 and only for version 1.2!!
Version history:

I found this Mod very helpfull and found its instalation fairly easy if you take it slowly and do not rush then to speed up your converstion get a converstion table print out, I searched under Metric converstion table or Convert Klm to seamiles and you get quite a wide selection.
