In several US battleship class articles, there is a standard paragraph at the end regarding "'Standard type battleship' concept of the US Navy..." It states: "a tight tactical radius (~700 yards)". This doesn't make any sense. A tactical radius of a battleship should be something along the lines of 700nm, not 700 yards. Is it perhaps denoting a TURNING radius of 700 yards, a DEFENSIVE radius of 700 yards (seems small), or is it just a unit error and should be Nautical miles instead of Yards?
