加拿大人員:請改變你的航向朝南15度以避免碰撞。
美國人員:建議你改變你的航向朝北15度以避免碰撞。
加拿大人員:不,你必須改變你的航向朝南15度以避免碰撞。
美國人員:這是美國海軍軍艦艦長,我再說一次,改變你的航向。
加拿大人員:不,我再說一次,你要改變你的航向。
美國人員:這是美國海軍林肯號航空母艦,美國大西洋艦隊第二大船艦,我們與三艘驅逐艦、三艘巡洋艦及多艘支援船隻同行。我要求你改變你的航向朝北15度。我再說一次,朝北15度,否則將採取反制措施以確保本艦的安全。
加拿大人員:這裡是燈塔,換你說。

This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid 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 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--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.
