It's Not Just A Job, It's An Adventure
The following is an actual radio conversation released
by the US Chief of Naval Operations on 10 October 1995:
-
NAVY:
-
Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.
-
CIVILIAN:
-
Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to South to avoid a collision.
-
NAVY:
-
This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
-
CIVILIAN:
-
No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
-
NAVY:
-
THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE
US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!
-
CIVILIAN:
-
This is a lighthouse. Your call.
