The following is the transcript of an actual radio conversation in October 1995, between a US navy ship and the British authorities, off the Scottish North coast. The transcript was released by MoD on 10/10/95.
BRITISH: Please divert your course15 degrees to the South, to avoid collision.
US navy: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees North to avoid collision.
BRITISH: Negative. You will have to divert course 15 degrees South to avoid a collision.
US navy: This is the Captain of US Navy ship. I say again divert YOUR course.
BRITISH: Negative I say again. You will have to divert your course.
US Navy: 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. DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THATS 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
BRITISH: We are a lighthouse. Your call
