Along those lines
I have no idea if the following is fact or fiction:
This is the transcript of the "actual" radio conversation between a US
naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in
October 1995.
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, 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 COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse.........Your call.
