As such, the Franklin docked in Naples, Italy, with thirty-three civilians on-board, with one of them suspected of being the arsonist and due to the fact that the Franklin was a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that could have been heavily damaged or even destroyed had the arson attack been successful, NCIS Agent Afloat Stanley Burley requested some assistance and NCIS Agents Anthony DiNozzo and Ziva David who worked at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. were both deployed to Italy with DiNozzo and Burley reuniting, having previously worked together during the Season 1 episode, High Seas (episode) while this event also marked the first meeting between Burley and Ziva.
