Comment: It depends on your height above the water. You could only see 20 miles if you were well above sea level. If â¦you are standing more or less at sea level, with your eyes just a few feet above the water level, you could see only about 3 or 4 miles. For example: Eye level at 6 feet: horizon at about 3 miles.
For observers standing on a hill or tower 100 feet (30 m) in height, the horizon is at a distance of 12.25 miles (19.71 km). If the US Navy ever said the horizon was 14 miles away, it must have been from the masthead of a large ship - about 130 feet (39.82 meters) above the water. Of the 244 feet between keel and masthead of a Nimitz-class carrier, about 38 is below the waterline, and about 150 feet is the island superstructure.
