The following is the transcript of an actual radio conversation in
October 1995, between a US Navy ship and The British authorities, near
the coast of England. The transcript was released by the Ministry of
Defence on 10/10/95.
BRITISH: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid
collision.
U.S.NAVY: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the North,
to avoid a collision.
BRITISH: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to
the South to avoid a collision.
U.S.NAVY: This is the Captain of US Navy ship. I say again, divert
YOUR course.
BRITISH: Negative. I say again. You will have to divert your course.
U.S.NAVY: 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 15 DEGREES
NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF
THIS SHIP.
BRITISH: We are a lighthouse.
