The following is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation that took place in Oct 1995, between a US Navy ship off the coast of England , and some British authority. The transcript was released by the MoD.

Brits: 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 collision.

Brits: Negative. You will have to 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.

Brits: Negative. I say again, YOU will have to divert your course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCON. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATESʼ ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Brits: We are a lighthouse, F*** off.

I actually remember this .... it was VERY worrying! :eek:

 

I never knew it was real - I heard it some years ago and it made me howl with laughter.

 

Agree actually, MMD, not really sure it was real but when you first read about it in the news it was worrying ... then you ponder on it ...

 

If you read the post it says it was released by the MOD,so assume it to be true :D :D :D

 

Well, I've worked for various Government departments ......

 

:D :D :D :D :D Love it Rhoders,you have made my day

 

excellent, my dearest ... it is more close to home with me because of my Sis, as you know! Thank you!

:D :D
I laughed and laughed when i read it.
Had sommat similar happen to me, when an american insist i move out of a parking bay, that i was just leaving anyway, but he insisted i move out quicker. he said it was because he wanted to leave and muttered something about blocking exits. I pulled out and he still ranting and looking at me, pulled in, and stove the front of his car in on the concrete bollard, I got out to check he was ok. He thought i had blocked a route thru and felt i ought to have told him it was a parking bay. Not quite as amusing.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I work for the MoD too and at and American Base!
