This was sent to me, reported to be an actual radio conversation between a
United States Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian
authorities off the coast off Newfoundland in October, 1995. The radio
conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 as
authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.
CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a
collision.
AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid
a collision.
CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the
South to avoid a 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...I SAY AGAIN.....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!
