This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy
aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities
off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio
conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on
10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to
avoid collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the
North to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to 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--I SAY AGAIN, 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.

I know it's false ;)
He posted a joke, so did I ;)

That article was hilarious :rofl
"They were armed. With guns," said Omari. "Canadians. With guns. And a warship. What is this world coming to?"
:aok
The U.N. said the incident is already under investigation, and promised swift action against those found responsible for giving the Canadians guns. Initial findings indicate that the Vancouver crew may have been watching too many American television shows.

check out the site where the article is.
It's a riot
-
The whole story is a riot. But I think my favorite part has to be this...
"They were pretty rude, too," Omari added. "They started asking us all sorts of questions, like 'Where did that oil come from?' But first we wanted to know who gave them the damn warship."
Oh man... lol

This reminds me of a "larry the cable guy" joke
"did ya hear the Mexican Air Force spotted a UFO the other day?
CAN YOU BELEIVE THAT?,
That's just unreal.....Mexico's got an Air Force!"
-
Good post!
Thanks.
-
Pugg666, that is not based on an 'Actual' radio call. In fact that story is the biggest 'hoax' on the net.
BTW, the USS LINCOLN, is part of the Pacific Fleet and has never operated in the Atlantic.

Can you read Otto?

Sorry, I didn't know the first post was a joke.

Ok, lets be honest. Of course I knew the first post was a 'joke'. While trying to settle the score with a "Can you read" geek I've unintentionally insulted the Canadian Navy. I didn't mean to do that.....:(

I love the story on that website about australia going on a bender and waking up in the north atlantic.
