Actually, the battery in the USN mini-sub was silver oxide, not lithium.

Airbus is bailing out of lithium batteries for their
A350 program.

A mini-sub being designed for the Navy suffered
catastrophic damage due to lithium battery fire
that fortunately broke out on land. It took 5+
hours to put the fire out.

Boeing still seems to be optimistic. I've
not heard anything new on Cessna . . . I think
they're still stroking the Lithium Ion
installation.

The program started out with silver but couldn't meet the
endurance requirements. This article does shed some new
light on the firefighting efforts.

Seems that the battery compartment hatch was never opened
and they hosed down the outside of the vehicle to keep
it cool. The fire was allowed to burn itself out within.
This probably accounts for the amount of damage done.
The article suggests that the Navy is still optimistic
about Li-Ion technology.
