penzman Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 American Military Intelligence? This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. Canadians: Recommend you 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, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penzman Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Wow! What a coincidence. Had no idea it had been previously posted in this forum and just 2 days before. I like the American version better. They're always right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeyethesailorman Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 actually, this joke has been around for a long time only to be revamped on the internet. It's not true but still funny all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
