Communication
between the Galician
Maritime Emergency Station
and the U.S. Navy
is real
and was recorded
off the Galician Coast
of COSTA DE FISTERRA
Oct. 16, 1997,
and released for publication
by the Spanish Military
in march of 2005.
Galician:
(Background noise)
Here is A853 speaking to you,
please change course 15 degrees
to avoid collision.
You are heading directly towards us,
distance 25 nautical miles.
American:
(Background noise)
We advice you to change course
by 15 degrees north to avoid collision:
Galician:
Reply negative. We repeat. Change course 15 degrees south to avoid collision.
American:
(another voice). This is the CPT. of the Navy of the United States of America speaking to you. We insist that you change course 15 degree north immediately to avoid collision:
Galician:
We see this as neither doable nor necessary.
We recommend for you to change course to avoid collision.
American:
(in a excited commanding tone)
this is captain Richard James Howard, commander of the airplane carrier “USS Lincoln“,
the second largest warship of the north American fleet of the United States Nayy:
we are accompanied by six armored cruisers;
six distroyers;
four submarines and several other support ships.
we are on course for the persian golf
to prepare military maneuvers for an offence against iraq:
i do not advise you...
..i order you!...
to change course
15 degrees due north!!!!!
should you refuse to comply we will take all necessary measures
to guarantee the safety of this airplane carrier
and this military force:
you are a member of allied state;
member of nato
and this force.
please obey forthwith and get out of our way !!!!!!
GALICIAN:
This is Manuel Salas Alcбntara. speaking.
We are two people.
We are accompanied by one dog,
our food,
two beers
and one man from the Canary Islands,
who is sleeping at the present time.
We have the support
of Radio Cadena Dial la Coruna
and Kanal 106 of the Maritime Emergency.
We are stationed
at the lighthouse A-853 Finisterra on the Galician coast.
We don’t have the faintest clue
which place we occupy in Spanish lighthouse ranking.
And you may go ahead taking those steps you seem randy
to deem necessary guaranteeing the safety of your
shitty airplane carrier,
especially since you are about to smash into the Rocky Coast of Galicia
in a few minutes....
for this reason we persist and would like to put it to your heart one more time
that it be the best, the healthiest and wisest for you and your crew
to change course 15 degrees to avoid collision.......
