I think I spoke to soon. If in context this makes sense as a measure of speed, use \"at six knots\".

I can\'t find anything yet that makes much sense here. Lunghezza di cavo could mean cable length, stern line/rope length, ship lengths if cavo here refers to the hull in any way, a unit of measure that I can\'t find, or something else entirely. If the ship is 185m long, maybe ship length would make sense. Sorry I couldn\'t help much.
