IRISH: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
BRITISH: Recommend you divert your course to the north to avoid a collision.
IRISH: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
BRITISH: This is the Captain of a Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
IRISH: Negative. I say again, you will have to divert YOUR course.
BRITISH: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMS BRITANNIA! THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE BRITISH ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY 3 DESTROYERS, 3 CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES TO THE NORTH. I SAY AGAIN, 15 DEGREES TO THE NORTH OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
