Looking for the funny radio transmission between an US military vessel and a lighthouse.?

Question

Hello everyone, a few years ago there was a transcript of a radio transmission on the internet between a military ship (probably USA) and a Lighthouse (off the Spanish or Canadian coast, can't remember which). The ship didin't realize it was talking to a lighthouse and requested the lighthouse keeper to move out of the way.
Who remembers this piece and could help me to find it on the internet?
A heartfelt Thank You to all you folks out there!

Folks, thank you so much for your help, all your answeres were great and helped me a lot.

Answer 1

I remember it on a morning radio show.
Just google and you might find it saved as a .wav
Heres what I found, google.

Radio Transmission
This is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a U.S. naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. {**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 U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER U.S.S. LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET, THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS ACCOMPANY US. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.

Answer 2

There were three versions in one version it was the Battleship Missouri, in one version it was the Battleship New Jersey, and in one version it was the air craft John F. Kennedy. And the light house was the Nantucket (misspelled) light house. Those were the three main ones. There were several more versions where the ship was a Guided Missile cruiser and a Guided Missile
Frigate.

With the carrier version it went like this: Use carrier because Marine aricralt are usally on carriers along with Navy aircraft.

On approaching the coast in a heavy fog Combat alerted the Bridge of a large object possible a super tanker bearing on a collision toward the carrier. The captain of the carrier got on the radio and the following is a transcrip of the conversion:

This is the captain of the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy you are bearing on a collision course. Steer port ninety degrees.

Unable to change course aircraft John F. Kennedy you will have to change course.

This is the Captain of the John F. Kennedy I order you to change course.

Again aircraft John F. Kennedy unable to change course. You change course.

This is the Captain of the John F. Kennedy. If you do not immediately change cours I am launching aircraft to blow you out of the water.

Aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy I repeat unable to change course. This is the Nantucket lighthouse, I repeat am unable to change course.

HARD PORT! HARD PORT! ALL ENGINES FULL BACK!! SOUND COLLISION!! THIS IS THE CAPTAIN SPEAKING BRACE FOR COLLISION!!

How nasty the versions were depended on how the crew felt about their officers and captain. The incident did happen but it is lost in history which ship was involved initially, because almost every ship of war claimed it to deride their officers and captain as being unable to pour pee out of a boot with instructions written on the heel.

Answer 3

I also heard it on you tube a month ago,but I thought it was a joke,I suppose the American navy would be arrogant enough to expect everyone else in the sea to move out their way

Answer 4

It's a joke, it never happened. In fact, the name of the ship in the story keeps changing so that it is believable for the year it is told about.
