Hunter-Killer Submarine Forced Through Ice Cap
- Watch this video about submarines on HowStuffWorks. The hunter-killer submarine was forced to surface through the polar ice cap after an explosion caused by an air-purifying candle which can burn at high temperatures during an oxygen-generating chemical reaction. The British defense ministry assured that the submarine's nuclear reactor was unaffected and the ship was not in danger. See how submarines work in this news video from Reuters.
