Quebec-class submarines were fitted with two regular diesel engines and a third, closed-cycle diesel engine, which used liquid oxygen (LOX) to provide air-independent propulsion while the submarine was submerged. This system produced remarkable submerged speed and range, and greatly increased the risk of explosion or fire. Liquid oxygen (also LOx, LOX or Lox in the aerospace industry) is the liquid form of oxygen. ...
