@ 2 knot for 6 hours = 21.5km => 1.79

How did you set speed? By aligning the indicator on the speed dial to a specific mark? Or by using a special throttle setting (fraction of top MaxSpeed) in: SH3folder\data\Submarine\(subtype)\(subtypename).c fg

The graphical scale on the dial might not be completely linear, and account for the suggestion that 1 SH3 nautical mile is close to 1.8km.
Personally, the 1.852 km/nm value has always seemed accurate to me. I'm sure I would have noticed the 2.8% difference at some point along the years.
