    To bring some fun into this forum ;)

    This should be posted in the GYY forum, but I think it might amuse most of the people here. Don't know whether it is true, but it sure is funny...


    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 MoD 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. Fuck off.

      i have read this before, but i seriously doubt its validity. naval captains dont exactly go around threatening their allies' ships.
