 USA vs Canada Light House
Believe it or not...this is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995.
US Ship: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
CND reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
US Ship: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert your course.
CND reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!
US Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA*, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous Support Vessels. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!
CND reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
It is believed as a true story. Many people say that this conversation actually happened and was recorded.
Us navy site cleared out this misconception at their website.
