Hahahaha lol! xD this must be an old swedish comercial or something. All the subbtitles are in Swedish and at the end of the clip it says " Silva, riktigt navigationsutrustning, till land och till sjöss, sedan 1932" meaning "Silva, real navigation equipment, to land and sea, since 1932" lol XD wonderful

Yes he is - I have this idea that it's one of our stand-up comedians but I can't quite place him. It does say at the start of the ad "somewhere in the Irish Sea" though AFAIK there are no manned lighhouses in Ireland (or UK) since 1996/7 when the last one on the Irish Sea, the Bailey lighthouse near Dublin, was automated.

It's just a joke, folks - a spoof, a send-up...... it's not a political statement, a criticism of the US Navy or the USA. It's an old joke, a story ascribed to various Navies that's been going round for years, that Silva, the makers of navigational equipment, made into a memorable advertisement. Chill out guys!

I just love how people say "oh, this really happend in canada" or " off the coast of wherever" but cant actully give the specific name and location of the lighthouse. Probably because they cant even find one that actually has a radio operator in it.......It is a funny video though.

You are right - this did not happen - but maybe way back there was such a radio conversation between a ship and say a harbor control or something? If you talk to people who were in WW2 or miltary service they will have lots of stories of military stupidity, bureaucratic stubbornness and idiot officers.
I guess like Chaplin movies this is the Machine against the Little Guy - and for a change the Little Guy wins!
