Yin & Yang Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Oldie - but goodie!! This is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US Navy vessel and the Canadian authorities off Newfoundland in October 1995. The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10th October 1995. Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision. Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. Americans: This is the Captain of US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: No, I say again, divert YOUR course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS AND THREE CRUISERS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS VESSEL. Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
