World War Two submarines were powered by batteries when running under water. The batteries resembled slightly oversized car batteries. The floor of the engine room would be covered by these batteries.
So lets say your standing upon a field of these over sized car batteries while the Uboat you're in is sinking. And your stuck inside the room with the batteries as the water floods in. Would you end up dying of drowning, or dying of electrocution?
You would die from breathing chlorine as the saltwater interacted with the batteries' electrolyte (in many cases, sulfuric acid), releasing chlorine gas into the submarine's air.
