They might have to scrap that sub if it is submerged and filled with water in-hull.
The training I got while in the USN pretty much ensured I was most scared of a hull insulation fire. In one minute after the insulation caught on fire things could be all over. Forget the reactor and steam; fire was a bad way to go. I still remember exactly what was said during my first fire on the USS Tautog and how we reacted.

Russian emergency crews on Tuesday tried to submerge a nuclear submarine that caught fire while undergoing repairs in dry dock as officials insisted it was not carrying nuclear fuel or arms. After battling the flames for several hours, firefighters were now filling the dock with water "and the operation may last several hours," said Ilya Zhitomirsky, spokesman for the United Shipbuilding Corporation which manages the facility. |

A statement by the press service of the Zvyozdochka shipyard said that the fire started at 2:00 pm (1100 GMT) in the stern, when welding works impacted rubber-based hull insulation. |
