We're American, so YOU'VE got to move.
The following is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation in October 1995, between a US Navy ship off the coast of England, and some British authority.
The transcript was released by the MoD on 10/10/95.
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 a collision.
BRITS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
AMERICANS: This is the Captain of 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 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 15 degrees north, or counter-measures will be taken to ensure the safety of this ship.
BRITS: This is a lighthouse. F&*k off.
