Article from the morning paper:

The Chief of U.S. Naval Operations has released the following transcript of a radio conversation between a U.S. Navy ship and Canadian authorities of the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.

U.S. ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

Canadian reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

U.S. ship: This is the captain of a U.S. navy ship. I say again, divert your course.

Canadian reply: No. I say again, you divert your course.

U.S. ship: This is the aircraft carrier USS Missouri - we are a large warship of the U.S. navy. Divert your course now.

Canadian reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
