А вы - US Navy, US Navy... Как проплыть на фолклендские острова:)

The following is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation in
October 1995, between a US Navy ship off the coast of England, and the
British authorities. The transcript was released by the MoD on 10/10/95.

BRITS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid
collision.

YANKS: 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 a collision.

YANKS: 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.

YANKS: 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 OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE
UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

BRITS: We are a lighthouse. Get real!
