Passage:
On a dark, foggy night a ship came upon the light of another vessel. The captain radioed his counterpart – “Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.” Through the crackly radio came the reply: “Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.”
The captain stood his ground. He radioed: “This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.” And again came the reply: “No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.”
Outraged, the captain spoke loudly into the radio: “THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM 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.”
And then came the reply: “This is a lighthouse. Your call.”
