USS Lincoln

This is the transcript of the actual radio conversation of a U.S. Naval ship
with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland.

Canadian: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a
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 U.S. 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.

LMAO!

been posted like 50 times but still good

Seen that before, but still hilarious

Ha!  Gotta love arrogant Americans

Good one

I'd still put my bets on the aircraft carrier. However after that? not so sure:)
LOL an oldie but a goodie.

I say blow that lighthouse to H377. j/k

the rocks might be a small problem  ;D

Ha!  Gotta love arrogant Americans

I find that sterotype to be very distasteful.

In addition, this NEVER HAPPENED. It was made up by people who probably believed in that sterotype.

I AM an arrogant American (who will do military time), so I'm allowed to say it

Heard it b4, but still LMAO

I've seen a variation of it with a British aircraft carrier and a French lighthouse, etc....

Would never happen anyway. We don't need carriers anywhere near Canada, and we could take over Canada with a Nerf gun and a couple water balloons.

j/k  ;D

It wouldn't happen purely because Lighthouses appear on charts and do everything they can to make themselves seen.

However I still like to think it's true.
