US Navy SEALs Mistaken for Mexican Navy

On July 11, 2017, three mysterious-looking boats showed up in Dana Point Harbor (Dana Point, CA), the rumors were of two veins: The boats belonged to the Mexican Navy, or to the US Homeland Security.

A reporter for The Log, a boating and fishing magazine, contacted three different agencies–Orange County Parks, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Coast Guard–to ask about the boats, but all three agencies stated they didn’t know the boats were in the harbor, nor to whom they belonged.

The article concluded that the rumors were correct–the boats did belong to the Mexican Navy.

In a later story, shortly after the boats appeared again in the Dana Point Harbor, The Log, reported that the stealth-like boats belonged to the US Navy SEALs.
