This is the transcript of a radio conversation of a
US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast
of Newfoundland.
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 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.
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, I SAY AGAIN,
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...!!!
peace .. sa mga S.NAVY..
