A spokesperson for Vueling airline said the reports that the plane had been hijacked were due to mis-communication between the pilot and the control tower.

I know the pilot wasn't Swedish, so sue me.

I've heard that same story many times but with a Canadian lighthouse. Think it might be an urban myth. US Navy even has a page about it:
That and that the US Navy doesn't have a 'USS Montana' and hasn't had one for a very long time, and if it did then under current naming standards she'd be a submarine, not a surface ship.
