in fallout 2 there is the a tanker called PMV Valdez and the parts are found in vault 13 and navarro i think the enclave where origionaly going to use it to transport the vault 13 people on the tanker judging by where the parts are found since the 1 part is in navarro which is where the enclave refuel there vertibirds and the other part is in vault 13. they where planing to have them taken to the oil rig from the tanker but since san fransisco was populated by more people than the enclave suspected they had to use the vertibirds
this is just a theory
The Tanker was disabled by the Enclave as it was a method of reaching the Oil Rig, the parts in Vault 13 are probably not from the Tanker, but rather, just common electrical components. The FOB was probably secured in Navarro because the Enclave may have intended to use it again at some point, I do believe that somewhere it is suggested that even the mutants populating the Tanker were placed there by the 'clave.
