But did you also catch the series of observations on recent navy navigation errors. By the way, do you remember the alleged conversation between the ENTERPRISE and .., well, you will see. I have it filed away on my computer under REALISM VS IDEALISM The following is an actual radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations, 10-10-95: 1: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. 2: Recommend YOU divert YOUR course 15 degrees to South to avoid a collision. 1: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. 2: No. I say again - you divert YOUR course. > > 1: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE. WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY.
