I'm with you; how in the hell did that happen? Could be fake, but sounds totally legit (I mean, why would the faker choose Spain?). I suppose *someone* could have nodded off or something, or misread the nav system, but in any case, it cracked me up.

Maybe it isn't real, but still a good story!

It does sound like the US Navy, but I wonder about the authenticity of this video. Nobody is using common radio "speak". You have to say whom you are calling, and then identify yourself, every time you speak. It should sound like " Senior Forum, Fuzzybuddy". It's standard stuff. This is pretty hoaxy.

This has been around for a long time and it is completely fake.

See post #8.
I remember hearing stories like this one when I was in the Navy fifty years ago. It was fun to sit in the galley and swap stories then at the end of the story say "No 5h1t" " Man it really happened". One story I liked was of the aircraft carrier that lost its boilers and was not able to get the screws turning so it could not make it back to port. So then the Commander ordered all the aircraft tied down facing forward and then starting up all the aircrafts engines so the aircraft carrier made it across the ocean into the port and had the boilers repaired. "No 5h1t"

I'm not sure if I believe that story, but I can tell that you were in the Navy, and that's no $h!t.
