SupraAyf Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The following is the transcript of an actual radio conversation in October 1995, between a US Navy ship off the coast of England, and the British Authorities. The transcript was released by the MoD on 10/10/95. BRITS: 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. BRITS: 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. BRITS: Negative. I say again. You will have to divert your course. AMERICANS: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS ACCOMPANY US. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. BRITS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

RedM Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Jeez! I thought the internet had broken and they'd had to load some pre-internet humour from the dark ages when I read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
