There are many fluids used in modern submarines, most of them hazardous in one form or another. However, the most commonly used are:
1. Hydraulic Fluid - Virtually every key mechanical system aboard a submarine is tied to the main or auxiliary hydraulics systems, e.g. Planes, Stabilizers, Rudder, Periscopes, Antenna/Radar masts, etc. There are Port and Starboard systems that are continually cycled through redundant systems.
2. Seawater - Used for everything - Steam to drive the Turbines for power (electrical and engines), freshwater conversion (desalination), sanitary (non-potable) systems, weapons ejection, trash dumping, Main and Trim Ballast, etc.
3. Fresh Water - In different variations (Potable for crew use, DI (De-Ionized) for O2 generation and Nucleonics, etc.)
4. Monoethanolamine (Amine) - Primary fluid component in the ship's CO2 Scrubber systems.
