<WOB> Joke - Military Inteligence

["Sawwa, Christopher" <CSawwa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for this WOB but I just had to share this with everyone... :)

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. Radio
conversation released by
the Chief of Naval Operations on 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 COUNTER-MEASURES
WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO
           ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call...
