Perhaps the US Navy are fishing for trout in peculiar waters ?

Nothing unusual there then....

The U.S. Chief of Naval Operations on October 10, 1995, supposedly released this transcript1 of a radio conversation between a U.S. Navy ship and a Canadian source off the coast of Newfoundland in the fall of 1995.

Navy: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collison.

Civilian: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

Navy: This is the Captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert your course.

Civilian: No. I say again, you divert your course.

Navy: This is the Aircraft Carrier Enterprise. We are a large warship of the
U.S. Navy. Divert your course now!

Civilian: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Urban myth.

summer war fun.

What are the chances of a little accidental engagement?

http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/arti...Tkr/GetContent

Nine U.S. warships carrying 17,000 personnel entered the Gulf on Wednesday in a show of force off Iran's coast that navy officials said was the largest daytime assembly of ships since the 2003 Iraq war.
