Hi Linda,
16Z is the time at Greenwich England. Out in the Atlantic Ocean, there is a
imaginary line that runs North to South. 16Z is using a 24 hour
clock(military time). This equates to 4 PM Daylight Savings Time or 16Z.
being that we live 5 hrs from Greenwich England, we must subtract 5 HRS from
any time you see the initial "Z" after a number. It is a bit confusing, but
it makes good sense to those who are in the military. Hope this helps.
