Us Navy Stand Off Story- How Not To Negotiate.
« on: November 10, 2006, 08:15:06 PM »
This is the alleged transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian maritime contact off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.

Americans: Please fivert your course 15 degrees North to avoid collision.
Canadians: Recommned you divert your course 15 degrees 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: We are a lighthouse; your call.

Yeah it was on the news a couple years ago. The entire Pacific fleet left their blinkers on and hit the curb.

I thought he was talking about Window's code names. But then again, I didn't recognize them specifically. Maybe it's some other software... ???
