This is the actual radio conversation (released by the chief of naval operations) of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 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 USS 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 know, I just do not go along with that little tale being real...
For one thing, a lighthouse is on Land... Land shows up extremly good on Radar... Every vessel in that group HAS radar and believe me, radar operators are very adapt at telling the diff between land and another ship....
Nope, don't believe a word of that story...

Well, at least you didn't think "Naval Humour" was a reference to your belly button.

I was hoping it was obvious that it was a joke. Thus the title.
Then why start the story by proclaiming the validity of it?

Okay, next time I post a joke I'll start out "This really didn't happen, so don't bother reading it". Will that make it clear?

Good story water back, I got a good chuckle out of it. I am going to tell it to some of my friends, who are former US Navy men.
