    This is a transcript of the ACTUAL radio coversation between a US Naval ship and the Canadians - off the coast of Newfoundland dated Oct 95.


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

    AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid collision.

    CANADIANS: Negative. You must divert your course 15 degrees South to avoid collision.

    AMERICANS: This is the Captain of a U S Navy ship. I say again - divert YOUR course.

    CANADIANS: Negative - I say again YOU MUST divert your course.

    AMERICANS: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN - UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY 3 DESTROYERS, 3 CRUISERS WITH FULL AERIAL SUPPORT. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH- I SAY AGAIN 15 DEGREES NORTH OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS GROUP.

    CANADIANS: We are a lighthouse - your call.
