Egos at sea

 

The following is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation that took

place in October 1995,between a US Navy ship off the coast of England, and

some British authority. The transcript was released by the MoD.

 

BRITS:

Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a collision.

 

AMERICANS:

Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to he North,to avoid a

collision.

 

BRITS:

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.

 

BRITS:

Negative. I say again. You will have to 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 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES

WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

 

BRITS:

We are a lighthouse. Your Call...
