True Navy Story -(very funny)

This is a transcript of an actual radio conversation (between a US Navy ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995).
Communications released by US Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.

Americans: Please divert your course by 15 degrees North to avoid collision.

Canadians: Recommend YOU divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South.

Americans: This is the captain of a US 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 IS ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse, your call.
