Joke of the Day : American Military Prowess
Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations 10.10.95:
AMERICANS:
Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.
CANADIANS:
Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision
AMERICANS:
This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
CANADIANS:
No, I say again, divert YOUR course.
AMERICANS:
THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ENTERPRISE; WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW.
CANADIANS:
This is a small Canadian lighthouse. Your call.
This was the transcript of a radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland.

gosh, this is such an old one. uve thrown me almost a decade back in time :D
I've heard it as well. It is probably an urban legend but with the arrogancy of the US military I can see it happening exactly as portrayed.
