This is the transcript of a radio conversation of a US naval ship with 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 US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

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

Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Have you heard about how the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force responded to a Joint Chiefs order to "secure the building"?

Ex Navy here , this is hilarious. Some day I'll tell you about our carrier pulling into New Orleans.

Don't hold back on us, Ex Navy Man ... we're always in a mood for humor here, especially if it's drawn from real life!

Just before I got on board the Forrestal they decided to port in New Orleans to have some R&R. We pulled in and several small craft decided it would be a great idea to stay closer than recommended. After we passed them and our displacement was gone most of them were sitting on the shore freaking out.

Ok...have yall heard about the marine and the sailor washing their hands?
