Submarines and whales have ways to adjust their buoyancy. That's how they sink and float as needed. Each has a different method of adjusting buoyancy.
The submarine controls buoyancy by adjusting ballast. Submarines have ballast tanks that can be filled with air or flooded down with water. When full of air, the ballast tanks provide enough buoyancy to keep the submarine afloat (provided the pressure hull is not full of water). The ballast tanks are open on the bottom, and have valves (called main vents) on the top. When we open the main vents, air is forced out by sea water that is coming in at the bottom. Once the ballast tanks are flooded, the boat will submerge. The crew then "fine tunes" the buoyancy by adding water to or pumping water out of tanks inside the pressure hull. These tanks are also used to trim the ship so it is neither heavy in the bow or the stern.
Whales can fill their lungs with air to float or swim on or near the surface. When they dive, they take a breath and swim down against the upward force of buoyancy. As they move deeper, pressure forces their ribs (which are not rigidly attached to their vertebrae) inward and their lungs are compressed. This reduces buoyancy and makes it easier to go deeper. As far as actual "control" of their buoyancy, investigators are still not clear about many aspects of the workings of whale physiology, and debate and speculation continue.
Wales and submarines submerge and rise to the surface by adjusting their buoyancy; although the principles are the same, the methodology is obviously different,
Submarines use hi-pressure air (compressed air) that is pumped into, or expelled into their buoyancy tanks in order to dive or rise. Wales must hold their breath in order to dive, and use their flippers and tail to power their dive and subsequent surfacing.
The term is impossible. A boat cannot float clear of the water.

Submarines change their depth by use of ballast tanks. To dive, they open their tanks so that they become filled with water. They also angle their dive planes. To surface, they pump the water out of their tanks and fill them with pressurised air.
Salt water is denser than fresh water, giving a higher net buoyancy force upward from the bottom of the whale, allowing it to float better. This applies to anything; the more dense the medium, the easier it is to float on it.
Your question is mistaken. Blue whales eat krill. Krill are tiny organisms that float about in the water and are kind of like plankton.
They use ballast tanks to contain sea water or air to control their depth
a submarine has a water tank. when the tank is filled then submarine sink in the water. and when the tank is empty then submarine float in water. use the formula density= mass / volume as mass increases(when the tank is full of water), the density of the submarine increases and it submerge into the water and vice versa.
Man applies the concept of density in many ways. One way is by designing ships and submarines that will float on water. If the density of the object is less than the water's density, the object will float, but if its density is less than the density of water, it will sink.
6 inches of water No 6 inches of water can cause you to loose traction and hydroplane but 24 inches of water is needed to actually float the car
