An explosion on a nuclear submarine which killed two British sailors was caused by an emergency oxygen device, the US military has said.
The men died on board the Devonport-based submarine HMS Tireless during a joint British-US operation under the Arctic ice off Alaska.
A third sailor was airlifted to a US military hospital in Anchorage. He is expected to make a full recovery.
The boat had to smash through the ice to reach the surface after the blast.
