Would be funnier if it were true, though the ship they're calling the "second largest in the North Atlantic fleet" is at best a cruiser - furthermore the only U.S.S. Montana that ever existed was an armored cruiser that was commissioned in 1908. The actual incident was perpetrated by Limeys, not Yanks. ;)
Notice that the captain grins victoriously to his radaroperator before hearing the (much needed) information. Very nice commercial. It's Swedish, btw.
ha ha ha ha very well captain!!! Rule Number 1 if the captain is always right. Rule number 2 if the captain is wrong refer to Rule number 1 ha r ha r ha r har ha r.
I read a longer version of that in a book a few years ago, but it was the Captain of the Royal yacht Brittania carrying the Queen and Prince Philip and demanding in a very snobby upper crust way for the lighthouse to change it's course as he was carrying the Queen, that his name was bla bla and the lighthouse keeper came back with . '' Well I'm John Smith and I;ve been lighthouse keeper here for twenty years...''

It looks like a RN type 42 destroyer to me, but who cares. Where's your sense of humour.

From what I know, I believe this is a classic scandinavian joke, although the original one I have heard was involving a Carrier group.
Still a damn funny joke, and this little video sure made my day.

Unfortunately it didn't. It's an anecdote that has been circulating in magazines since the 60's.
