Jim,

    As usual your knowledge shines through! It was just a few years ago
    that the Soviet's sub "Kursk" was sunk by her own torpedo. How so,
    you ask? It seems that they had on board a torpedo that used
    Hydrogen Peroxide as a propellent. In a nutshell, the h202 ate 
through
    some tubing or fitting, leaked, and eventually caused fire/explosion
    that put the sub on the bottom. I believe they said the volume of
    the leaking substance would expand to about 5000 times the original
    volume. 

    Here in America, the navy decided that this chemical was tooooo
    dangerous for use as a torpedo propellant in our subs.
