I am amazed how quickly this Tiico conversion thread morphed into weather patterns and international shipping long before Friday! Well now it's Friday!! Here follows the transcript of a radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October '95. This actually happened! US Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. Canadian reply: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. US Ship: This is the captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, Divert Your Course! Canadian reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course! US Ship: This is the Aircraft Carrier US Enterprise. We are a large warship of the US Navy. Divert your course NOW!! Canadian reply: This is a light-house. Your call. Heh heh, eh! Rich 90 Westy Vancouver BC |
