1. SHIP NOMENCLATURE

2. DO NOW  In the United States, we commonly use the English system of measuring length & distance (feet, inches, miles…).  In most of the world, however, the Metric system is more commonly used to measure length & distance (meters, centimeters, kilometers…).  The result is that American shipping and logistic companies frequently have to manage length and distance numbers between the Metric and English systems.  1 meter = 3.28 feet OR 1 foot = 0.30 meters  1 centimeter = 0.39 inches OR 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters  1 meter = 100 centimeters
