Divert Your Course

 Print

 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 Operation 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 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.... Divert YOUR course.
