This was a conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian
authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in late 1995.
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south
to avoid a collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north
to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to 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, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second
largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We
are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers
and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change
your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's
one-five degrees north, or counter-measures will be
undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship!
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

you're talking approximately 2 distinctive countries with entirely 2 very distinctive militia. The Royal Marines have the longest elementary coaching recurring of any team. america Marine Corps performs amphibious operations basically like their opposite numbers in Britain, and that they are basically besides experienced. British sailors and Royal Marines are no longer any comedian tale. they have been kicking butt for hundreds of years, ditto the USMC. I even have no thought on that one. as a protracted way because of the fact the Armies of each and every usa bypass, all i will think of to declare is that america military is with the help of a protracted way extra advantageous, so the British military has the luxurious of being a smaller tension and as a result having much less substandard squaddies. They each and every do the interest they're needed to do properly, even nevertheless. I ought to offer it as much as the SAS in this one. to no longer take something remote from military specific Forces, for sure, however the specific Air provider has been the elite commando tension for many longer. The specific Forces develop into formed because of the fact an American soldier observed how properly the SAS operated and knew that united statesa. needed a similar tension of commandos. Ditto the SBS and the SEALs; the SBS operated in international war II critically and the SEALs did no longer come alongside until Nineteen Sixties or so. i think of the USAF is probable the main elite air tension interior the international with the aid of their technologies and the regular of their workers. very few human beings get into the Air tension whilst in comparison with different branches of the provider interior the States. in case you asked a member of each and every of those communities who develop into the suitable, you may get a similar answer of "US!" from each and every, yet that's the arrogance you ought to attain their very distinctive and important jobs.
