Some storekeeper bragged you could order ANYTHING in the Navy with an 11 digit part number - he had the number for an F4 so he tried ordering it. They delivered it.
He was court martialed and drummed out of the Navy. The Admiral in charge of that area was not amused and ordered our Captain to haul it back. Everyone in command was pissed off. That is why they would not let us take pics. Touchy subject I guess.
