"This is a true transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US Naval Ship and the Canadian Authorities, off the Newfoundland Coast in Oct, 1995. Radio conversation released by Chief of Naval Operations 10 Oct 95. AMERICANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid a collision. CANADIANS: Recommend you 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 ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. CANADIANS: "THIS IS A LIGHTHOUSE.----- YOUR CALL."
