Naval Manuvers

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio
conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities
off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.

Radio conversation released by the Chief of
Naval Operations 10-10-95.

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 collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy
Ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No... I say again, you 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, THREE
CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. 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 SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse...your call.
