Problems with tracking spare parts & other inventory items goes back decades. Refers to the F-14 parts issues back in 1985 - about $7M were stolen out of almost $400M in parts carried on aircraft carriers.
In 2018 the Navy found a warehouse filled with F-14, P-3 and P-8 spare parts - worth $126M. $20M were distributed once put into the inventory system.
Lots of other examples.
