Go Navy

Dracula

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a U.S. Naval ship with Canadian Authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10 October 1995.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision

Canadians Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: 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 ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

That's hysterical! If it's true I think the commander of the ship probably had an inquiry to face afterwards! lol

Old one Drac... :)

I heard about one navigation officer that was taking the ship position in the night (coastal navigation) and called the Captain : "Captain, please come on the bridge, I have difficulties to take the position by using this lighthouse, it's moving!" He was taking as lighthouse a car racing on shore... ;)
