Hmm. Will the navy let you say how metric the American military is?
And if the American military is predominately metric, where are there metric procurements manufactured? Domestically or Internationally.

Then I popped the thing open and painted over the �F with white acrylic paint. I didn't do anything to the �C. Then I used a felt tip pen for the kelvins, and popped it back together. The over all cost was about $5. This idea is not patent-able, and there is little market demand in the U.S. for this product; but maybe one day. I work as an officer in the U.S. Navy, but the Navy only allows me to say that much. In about ten months I will return to Ohio to get a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

This would be an excellent alternative to the dual C/F type. Maybe you can patent it, market it and sell it. But, first, I would make the K and �C scales of equal size.
