considering that a lighthouse's main purpose is to be seen many miles off shore in poor weather, this just shows the irish can't properly change a light bulb
@thenavy1995 If you could tell me five things I should know before joining the Navy, what would they be? I say five because one just doesn't seem like enough. I'm assuming you're an officer because of a few of the comments I've read.
Haha, that was hilarious! But sadly I don't think it's true.. because I've heard another version of it being in Canadian seas and the light house was Canadian and the ship involved was an aircraft carrier.
grest vid.. i ran a fire boat for ten years in south florida and one thing for sure and has never changed in years'' you never argue with a jetty nor a lighthouse''
It's a joke. Similar stories have been cropping up; sometimes with a British vessel vs. a Canadian lighthouse, or an American vessel vs. a Canadian lighthouse. Nothing more than Ant-American BS.
@UNspacycadet actually...... the USS Montana did exist and it was known as the BB67... it was indeed a large ship due to the fact that it was a south dakota class battleship during WW2
It's not Anti-American anything it's just good old fashioned Naval humor hilarious I read the transcript of it in 1995 with the USS Lincoln used instead. Life is good have a laugh.
ummm...well, while everybody's freakin out, let me say that i'm in the navy and i thought this was pretty damned hilarious. and true, to a point. the difference being that officers and chiefs would have still told the lighthouse to move after discovering that's what it is. blue shirts are the backbone of the navy, khakis are just in the way
Fuck me everyone below settle down, its a funny clip, regardless who made it or who is potrayed in the roles, if you cant understand the funny side of this go jump off a cliff and leave the rest of us to have a fucking laugh.
this is a video created by a non-American navigation equipment company called "Silva" and by no means a USN made video... and as for cadellin9 your an idiot...
They shot the plane cause it showed up on the radar as an Iranian (or something like that) F-14. And when they told him to change course, the plane did not respond. They are not shooting planes just for fun.
sheet, make a choice, you have 10 seconds, your ship and crew, or a suspected invading aircraft. Get off that easy chair. You are now in the real world! Sucks, don't it!!That's the choice we have to make on a daily basis.(At least I used to. I'm retired). =Stefan=
Invading aircraft?? WTF? The radar operator mistakenly identified the Iranian Airbus A300 as an attacking F-14 in Iranina Airspace!
Chengloki I'm glad your retired, you weren't on the Vincennes were u?
Kolesztar the USS Vincennes was transmitting blind, it was using the wrong frequency so the pilots had no way of knowing the orders or instructions. Just goes to show the biggest cover up by US govt ever.
sheet, you've never been in combat! And I hope that you never will be!! That was my job, not your's. Unless you've been in that position, you really don't have a say, Do you?? =Stefan=
Ha, another conspiracy theorist. Tell me, were the pilots deaf too? Because they hailed them on every operating aviation channel with no reply. They didn't operate on a single frequency.
As for this video, it's stupid. A) The ship they used was British.
B) The lighthouse could've said, "I'm a lighthouse."
C) Per international maritime laws if they hadn't been a lighthouse they would have had to yield to the American Aircraft Carrier that was the source of this video.
No, it's not real. My next foor neighbor was a communications specialists on the Lincoln in 1995 during which it was deployed from the west coast to the Persian Gulf for 6 months.
Also, it's been proven false by just about every website thats looked into it. Google it, dumbass.
You're right, it was USS LINCOLN but next to Spain. We have a radio show in France that reported the story. I made a video with it. If you want to hear the transcript of the true event seek for "ruquier" and "Us navy".
I was in the US Navy as a submariner and this sounds very likely to happen. It is the attitude that we are the superiors of the sea which results in some really dumb decisions. I remember one instance where a submarine was submerged near a boat pulling a barge. Rather than diverging its course, the crew went right under it and snagged the cable linking the boat to its barge. The cable ripped a gash through the sail of the submarine. The company of the barge sued the US Navy and won.
TheGift, of course! That Skipper was STUPID!!, Like the Skipper of the Greenville. Stupidity deserves what it gets. (By the way, I'm retired US Navy). =Stefan=
Not really. How was he supposed to know that he shouldn't've taken you seriously? S'ok kid, this is the internet, it happens all the time. No hard feelings.
its funny that its true??? cuz i myself am not from the UK im just not a retard who assumes US has the best navy cuz it does not, it has one of the best though
I didnt say they can blow up the world i said they spend more money how does that even relate to what i said. im not fucking hick faggot ass bitch stop sucking dick and learn how to read
Ha, the only thing funny about this video is that they claim it's the USS Montana (which as Jadd612 points out was retired long long ago), and the ship they use in the video is actually a British warship.
This is a Swedish TV Ad -- maybe someone should make a comedy video of a Swedish government garbage spies. (they have people checking your garbage in Sweden)
the real incident was supposdly off the spanish coast in 1995. the canadian one, was just taken by some canadian dude.
