Military Radio
Looking for the funny radio transmission between an US military vessel and a lighthouse.?

Hello everyone, a few years ago there was a transcript of a radio transmission on the internet between a military ship (probably USA) and a Lighthouse (off the Spanish or Canadian coast, can’t remember which). The ship didin’t realize it was talking to a lighthouse and requested the lighthouse keeper to move out of the way.
Who remembers this piece and could help me to find it on the internet?
A heartfelt Thank You to all you folks out there!
Folks, thank you so much for your help, all your answeres were great and helped me a lot.

I remember it on a morning radio show.
Just google and you might find it saved as a .wav
Heres what I found, google.

Radio Transmission
This is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a U.S. naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. {**Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10/10/95**}

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER U.S.S. LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET, THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS ACCOMPANY US. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT’S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.
