Raploc Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision. CANADIANS: Negative. You wil 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! CANADIANS: No I say again, divert YOUR course. AMERICANS: This is the Aircraft Carrier US 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 countermeasures will be taken to ensure the safety of this ship. CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
GGTharos Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 We already went through this one - it's not actual or true in any way, shape or form. It is a good joke, but that's all - this little story exists in a number of variations and has been quite soundly refuted. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
