BBC News was saying that the 2nd fire was in, or very close to, an oxygen generator plant.

Jiminy.

The possibility of an oxygen-fed underwater fire doesn't bear thinking about. I'm impressed that the crew were able to save the boat, definately hats off to them.

Nothing to do with the accident, but I got the sense that the deal was partly in exchange for making training areas in Canada available to UK armed services rather than for cash.
