Naval Radio Conversation


   The following is a real 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, divert your course.

Americans:  This is the Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise.  We are a large warship of the US Navy.  Divert your course now!

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

   This was the transcript of a radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland.
