Extremly confusing...
Remembers me off that stupid radiogram between America and Spain.
I try to translate, only know it in German. It was realy taken Place and was released for puplication from Spanish military authorities in March 2005:
Spaniard: Here ist A 853! Please change your course
to 15 degrees south to avoid a collision. . .
Americans: Here speaks
the captain of a ship of the Navy of the United States of America. Change your course 15 degrees north to avoid a collision.
Spaniards: This is not possible. You have to change your course
Amerikaner: Here is
the Captain Richard James Howard, Commander of the
Aircraft carrier "USS Lincoln" from the Navy of the United
States of America, the second largest warship of the North-American fleet. We are escorted by two tank cruiser, six
Destroyers, five cruise ships, four submarines and several ships,
who are allways ready to give us back up.
I order you to change your course by 15
Degrees to the north! If you won´t do, we will be forced to take the necessary action!
Spaniards: Here speaks Salas Juan Manuel Alcántara. We are two
Persons. We are escorted by our dog, our food, two beers and
a guest who just sleeps. We're going nowhere, We are Lighthouse
A 853 on the mainland on the coast of Galicia. And you may initiate action
which you deem necessary and to which you are cool to
Security of your shitty aircraft carrier to guarantee, especially since he
will crash into the rocky coast of Galicia . And because off this we must insist on it and we want you
once again heartily recommend you to change your course by 15 degrees to
South to avoid a collision.
