Default LoL at this radio conversation :D

It has nothing to do whit submarines and it happend 1995 also but i found it so funny so i thought i wanted to share it

An actual radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations USN, 10-10-95.

Station #1: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Station #2: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to South to avoid a collision.

Station #1: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Station #2: NO. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Station #1: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE. WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!
Station #2: This is the Pudget Sound lighthouse. It's YOUR call.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I guess the captain if the carrier is the US version of BERNARD

If only the story was true. I could see George Bush making that kind of mistake if he was at the helm.

Yup, I doubt it is true, it has been a long time since lighthouses where manned.
