The delicate process of righting the sub involved rotating it between 800 and 1,000 millimeters. A team of workers adjusted the slings by 2 millimeter increments during the two days the job took.

I got out the calculator. That should read "rotating it between 31 and 39 inches in increments of .08 inches."

Damn, it P.O.'s me when American journalists don't convert metric into Imperial measurements. It would be like printing a foreign dignitary's speech in his native language without bothering to translate it into English.

I suspect it has something to do with sophistication, but I'll bet the writer didn't have any idea what 800 millimeters meant either.

Yep.

Sounds like the writer read it off a ‘fact’ sheet.
