Re: ZULU



This one causes an amazing amount of confusion to many people. ZULU
refers to time based on the Prime Meridian passing through (actually near
is more correct) Greenwich England. Other time zones are referenced to
ZULU and/or ZULU is sometimes said to be referenced from them. Ex: On the
East Coast (EST) one may hear that this is a +5 time zone. This means
that ZULU time may be known by adding 5 hours onto the EST local time
(assuming, of course, that local time is properly known).
