The air trapped in the hull (this includes the buoyancy tanks) make it lighter than the water it displaces.
The buoyancy tanks surround the main hull (where the people and machinery are), and can be flooded to allow the ship to sink. Refilling them with air (from compressed air tanks) allows it to return to the surface.

Do people float in submarines?
No.
Does submarines float?
Yes, they does.
How can submarines float and sink?
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.
How do submarines float sink and stay in the middle of the sea or ocean?
They use ballast tanks to contain sea water or air to control their depth
How do submarines float and sink in water?
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.
How man applies the concept of density?
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.
Ships float submarines sink?
Wrong!!!! Ships float, and submarines also float. However, submarines have special buoyancy tanks, which are filled with sea-water, which then makes then sink. The air in these tanks is removed by a vacuum, out into compressed air cylinders. , this allows water to enter and hence the submarine sinks. To make the submarine re-surface, the compressed air in the compression tanks is blown back into the buoyancy tanks, thereby pushing out the sea-water, hence the submarine re-surfaces(floats). Remember the Archimedian Principle. 'The weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced'. As an experiment to yourself, obtain a spring balance, an house brick and a tanks of water. Attach the brick to the spring balance, with a piece of string, and note the weight in air. Now keeping the brick attached to the spring balance lower it into the water of the water tank, and note the new less weight. The difference in the weight is the weight of the water displaced by the brick. Hence Archimedes principle and the reason why ships and submarines can float, because the displace less water.
Where do submarines go?
in the water
How is a pink dolphin like submarines?
Pink dolphins are like submarines because they never go in the water, dolphins and submarines alike are have waterphobia and never go in the water. Pink dolphines also are lesbians like submarines
Why do submarines float to the surface when the air is let out?
They rise to the surface when air is pumped IN. They sink when air is let out
