Actually, U.S. Navy Commodore Jerry Manley was looking for spare parts when he opened a package delivered to the Charleston (S.C.) Naval Base . . . only to find an original painting by the late Pop artist Andy Warhol. “Maybe we’ll be famous for 15 minutes,” quipped Manley. The box shipped to the naval base was from Equinox Gallery in Vancouver, Canada, Navy officials said Monday. The painting and the spare parts apparently were mistakenly switched in transit from a Seattle freight-holding center, the officials said.
