What happens when you have a hot battery fire. And you know they will. You're in a submarine with no ventilation or fresh air. This is stupid. What was their nuclear power plant meltdown called. It's this but x10 worse. THIS IS STUPID.
A fire like this would consume all the oxygen in the boat atmosphere and hypoxia would set in on the crew pretty quickly. Any firefighting they could do would be impaired by diminished capacity. And the end would be pretty quick.
