Any wonder as to why the Brits do not have much of a navy...

This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation between the
British and the Irish, off the coast of Kerry, Oct 98. Radio conversation
released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-98:

IRISH:

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

BRITISH:

Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North, to
avoid a collision.

IRISH:

Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to
the South to avoid a collision.

BRITISH:

This is the Captain of a British navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.


IRISH: Negative. I say again, You will have to divert YOUR course.

BRITISH:

THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMS BRITANNIA! THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE BRITISH ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED
BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT
VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH,
I SAY AGAIN,THAT IS 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE
UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

IRISH:

We are a lighthouse. Your call.

Amazing how the exact same conversation took place between a US battleship and a Nova Scotia light house too.
 
Because the good Lord saw fit to place rocks in the middle of the ocean, and Canadians got tired of cleaning up the mess.
 
We rarely care what you say... we just want you to use the correct forum. Remember... the internet has limited space. Please be tidy.
