Here this is a real story, but I don't know....

Actual radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations, 10-10-95.

American Ship: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadian Radio: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to South to avoid a collision.

American: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadian: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

American: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ABRAHAM LINCOLN, WE ARE THE SECOND LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US ATLANTIC FLEET. DIVERT YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NOW OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSUER THE SAFETY OF THIS FLEET!

Canadian: We are a lighthouse... Your call.
