Polvie A little cross border humour on an otherwise, humourless day. This is an actual radio conversation between a United States Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S.Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995 (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 as authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.) CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid collision. CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid 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: We're a lighthouse. Your call. Don't throw tomatoes! Rosita
