What is the equivalent of 1700 hours in standard time?

To determine the equivalent of 1700 hours in standard time, it’s essential to understand the 24-hour clock format used in military and naval contexts. In this system, 1700 hours represents the time after noon, specifically 5:00 PM.

To convert from military time to standard time, you subtract 1200 from the military time if it is 1300 hours or higher. For 1700 hours:

1700 - 1200 = 500

This means 500 hours in standard time, which translates to 5:00 PM. Therefore, when you look for the matching standard time, 5 PM is the correct equivalent for 1700 hours.
