Two marines die on HMS Tireless

ValuJet Flight 592 was a flight that crashed on May 11, 1996 en route from Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida to Hartsfield International Airport (now known as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) in Atlanta, Georgia.
The NTSB determined that the fire was caused by the activation of expired chemical oxygen generators placed in the cargo compartment.

That's what I was thinking, or possibly with a torpedo or some kind of breech in the torpedo doors.

Those oxygen candles are dangerous.
