What 2300 means
2300 is 11:00 PM. Military time writes the hour and the minutes as four digits with no colon, so the 23 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: 23 minus 12 is 11, so it is 11:00 PM.
Eleven at night, the last hour of the day. The minute after 2359 is 0000, not 2400.
Saying 2300 out loud
You say “twenty-three hundred hours”. The word “hundred” is there because the minutes are zero; if it were 2330 you would say “twenty-three thirty hours” instead, and at 2305 it becomes “twenty-three oh five hours” — minutes below ten get an “oh”.
