The following is supposedly a documented conversation between the USS Lincoln and a Canadian "vessel"....

Canadian: 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 by 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.

Story comes from an old commercial for a maritime navigation aids company called Silva.  It's a good spot too.

Swedish humor. Silva makes a great compass.

And I was wondering if the USS Lincoln was using the Rushmore Navigation.
