Three investigations are ongoing related to the fire. Two investigations are being conducted by Naval Sea Systems Command: the first is a failure review board investigation of safety issues relating to ship design and structure, and how changes could prevent future fires from spreading through ships under similar circumstances; the second is a safety review related to the events and activities that occurred on the ship prior to the fire and their relation to existing navy policies and procedures; finally, an investigation into command issues is being led by Vice Admiral Scott Conn, the commander of the 3rd Fleet.
