+Erik 1,731 Posted May 1, 2017 This is the transcript of a radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95. 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 countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call. The US Navy has unfortunately debunked this urban legend. Sadly, it never happened. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Menrva 3,990 Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah, an old one. IIRC, the version I read had the Spanish in place of the Canadians. Still funny though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyviper 1,101 Posted May 1, 2017 I love it. I remember a youtube version of this. The guys in the lighthouse replied. We are a people of two, we have our dog, and our beer. We have no idea where we place in the world but we are in a lighthouse. Plot Twist: The boat is called This Is A Lighthouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The version I was telling about was actually a video from YouTube. I might be able to find it again. Thanks, Skyviper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
