BornToKill Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 This was e-mailed to me from one of our US TAW members:- This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a US Naval ship and the Canadians, off the coast of Newfoundland, Oct 95. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95. 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: Negative. I say again, You will have to divert your course. AMERICANS: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER US 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 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. CANADIANS: We're a lighthouse. Your call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chems Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 LMFAO thats gotta be a joke, how does the best technologically equiped Carrier Battle group designed to fight Russian Migs and bombers, mistake a lighthouse for a ship? Or were they just saying you move not us and never checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
