[Floridacyclist]

The original one was an advertisement for Silva compasses. There are several copies of it on here.

its advertising

first world navy ships know the difference between

lighthouses and other ships

modern navy ships do not mistake moving ships

for stationary objects

where is the real version? i don't want a Hollywood one.. where is the real recording?

[MikePhoenix85239]

There is no real recording. The joke goes back to at least 1939. The only USS Montana was a WWI convoy escort decommissioned in 1921.

the (English Subs) in the title is actually referring to the use subtitles mate. It has nothing to do with the clip itself; although I can understand why it would be an issue.

The effect of this video is completely based on the element of surprise. The poster has spoiled it by mentioning the surprise in the title!
