I'm happy now.

BTW, I don't say faaaaaack. I say the actual word.

Oh, and to british people(and probably others) for noticing the 'h' in 'herb'!

I notice the h.... its just silent, and i used to get it confused with my teacher Mrs. Erb

It is NOT silent!

ALL the letters in "herb" are silent, when you're reading them with your mouth closed.

I don't think they would admit to anything even if it was the truth , wouldn't look good for anyone .I can see this happening somewhere in the world , stranger things have happened ???

Actually my first hint that something was not quite right with this story was the in fact that in the "actual radio conversation" it is said that the Americans state, "This is the Aircraft Carrier US Lincoln..." You don't have to been in the Navy very long to know that the proper title is the USS Lincoln. The second was the fact that, by international convention ships and lighthouses are lighted in very specific and different ways. It is impossible to mistake one for the other. There are several other facts that make this scenario highly improbable, but you get the idea.

So, no I don't see this ever happening. While a funny story (what, when I was a sailor we used to call "a sea story") it is my opinion that this one is cut from whole cloth and a fertile imagination.

The difference between a fairy tale and a sea story: A fairy tale begins, "Once upon a time long, long ago..." and a sea story begins, "Now this ain't no S---!"
