You will have to divert your course 15degrees 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 SECONDLARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE AREACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUSSUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREESNORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--ORCOUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
