What 1300 means
1300 is 1:00 PM. Military time writes the hour and the minutes as four digits with no colon, so the 13 is the hour and the 00 is the minutes. Because the hour is 13 or higher, subtract 12 to get the time on a normal clock: 13 minus 12 is 1, so it is 1:00 PM.
One in the afternoon — the first hour where you add 12, and the example nearly every military time explainer reaches for.
Saying 1300 out loud
You say “thirteen hundred hours”. The word “hundred” is there because the minutes are zero; if it were 1330 you would say “thirteen thirty hours” instead, and at 1305 it becomes “thirteen oh five hours” — minutes below ten get an “oh”.
