Two ships leave a port at the same time. The first ship sails on a bearing of \( 58^{\circ} \) at 26 knots (nautical miles per hour) and the second on a bearing of \( 148^{\circ} \) at 28 knots. How far apart are they after \( 1.5 \) hours? (Neglect the curvature of the earth.) After \( 1.5 \) hours, the ships are approximately nautical miles apart. (Round to the nearest nautical mile as needed.)
