The canadians VS US Navy. Its your call.?
This was a conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian
authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in late 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, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second
largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We
are accompanied with 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.
