This is the transcription of the ACTUAL radio conversation between the
British and the Irish off the coast of Kerry, October 1998. Radio
conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-98.
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 Navy 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 BRITIANNIA! THE SECOND LARGEST
SHIP IN THE BRITISH ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE
DESTROYERS, THREE
CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND 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.
A barrel of laughs old Charlie
