I always question the validity of something that says it's the
"ACTUAL"
thing, but this is too good not to forward -- truth or fiction, it's
funny!
-----
This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a British
Naval ship and the Irish, off the coast of Kerry, 10 October 1995.

Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations:

IRISH: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a collision.

BRITISH: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North, to avoid a collision.

IRISH: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

BRITISH: This is the Captain of a British Naval ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

IRISH: Negative. I say again, you will have to divert your course.

BRITISH: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMS BRITAINIA - THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE BRITISH 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 IS 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR
COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

IRISH: We are a lighthouse. Your call.

Old, but funny.

I've always seen it told with a US carrier and a Canadian lighthouse though.
