Asunto: Quetzalcoatl Valle
I think I figured out the mystery - On Monday June 5, 2006 the plan was to sink the Valle - this is the plan I received from the Navy. As the article states because of impending weather the ship was sunk without fanfare. And what I didn't know was it was not off the beach at La Caleta but in 120msw. Then November 24, 2006 they sunk the Quetzalcoatl at La Caleta - this time with the Governor present and the media, this is the sinking the locals remember.
