Believe it or not … this is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.
The Radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995.


US Ship: “Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.”
Canadian reply: “Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.”
US Ship: “This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, ‘Divert your course’.”
Canadian reply: “No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!”
US Ship: “THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!"
Canadian reply: “This is a lighthouse."
