Yep.
Last page of the sports section in today's O.C. Register. A fishing Charter from Tito's in S.Q, was boarded by 7-8 Mexican navy men with machine guns, fingers on triggers and ski masks.
After a lengthy tale of events (find online), the Navy 'mother ship' towed the charter boat right to the bottom of the ocean when it started to take on water. The Navy guys refused to let the anglers get their gear off the boat. Earle Robitaille (spelling?) was quoted extensively in the article.
I'll be interested to hear more of this story, could possibly be Nomads? or known by Nomads?
