jcjeant, milles is miles. nautical miles would be milles nautique.
Yes, that is correct. A few pages back at post #820, page 41, I actually posted the Recovery Operation Position (ROP) without giving the exact co-ordinates.

ROP = 023°T x 4.34NM(5 miles/8km) from LKP

Those with a calculator can come up with their own position, but the one given above will lead you to the main engines.
