The Navy issued new safety precautions after the Brooklyn Constellation disaster that killed workers. Fuel tanks believed to have sparked the fire must be removed from ships and wooden scaffolding and flammable liquids must be tightly controlled on ships and at shipyards. Cofferdam protections were mandated for containers storing fuel or solvents aboard vessels and yards to prevent a repeat of the blaze.
