The submarine term for the maneuver is called "hovering". The 2 primary situations in which hovering is utilized is in preparation for an under-ice surfacing, and for Ballistic Missile submarines, in order to launch their missiles.
Before a submarine empties its ballast tanks of air to submerge, the crew already knows how much fixed and variable ballast weight to account for, so that enough Trim Tank water ballast can be pumped aboard to achieve a state of Neutral Buoyancy upon submerging. Neutral Buoyancy is that state in which a submarine (or in Scuba, a diver) is neither sinking or rising, effectively 'hanging" in the water. With divers, as they change depth, they add or release air from their buoyancy compensators (BC's) to maintain NB as the change in pressure affects the state of buoyancy. Submarines accomplish the same thing by pumping in or pumping out seawater to and from the boat's Trim Tanks as the boat changes from one depth to another. Trim tanks are used for boat leveling (Fore and Aft, Port and Starboard), as well as Variable Ballast control.
In a true state of Hovering, the boat has come to a full stop, and has achieved a state of NB. For under-ice surfacing, water is pumped out of the Trim Tanks just enough to create positive buoyancy until the sail contacts the ice. Positive buoyancy is then increased to the point where the boat eventually breaks through the ice.

How does water pressure affect a submarine?
When a submarine goes farther down in the water, the water pressure becomes greater. If the submarine goes to far, pipes can explode and let in water, or it can implode the submarine
Can water exert pressure on a submarine?
Yes, water exerts pressure on the hull of the submarine.
The buoyancy force on a submarine submerged in the ocean equals what?
The buoyancy force on a submerged submarine equals the weight of the water displaced by the submarine. This force acts in the opposite direction to the gravitational force, allowing the submarine to float or sink in the water.
How does water enter the submarine?
Water enters the submarine by letting water out not into its ballast tanks it enters from the flagura to the magura.
A sentence with submarine in it?
A submarine is only used under water.
How does water enter a submarine?
Water enters the submarine by entering through the butthole and leaving from the propellers
What does a submarine alter to rise and fall in water?
A submarine alters its buoyancy to rise and fall in water by adjusting the amount of water in its ballast tanks. When the tanks are filled with water, the submarine becomes heavier and sinks; when air is pumped into the tanks, the submarine becomes lighter and rises. This process allows the submarine to control its depth in the water column effectively.
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.
Why does a submarine can sink and float in water?
A submarine can sink and float in water because it has ballast tanks that can be filled with water to make it sink and with air to make it float. By adjusting the amount of water and air in the ballast tanks, the submarine can control its buoyancy and stay submerged at a desired depth or rise back to the surface.
When water fills a submarine's flotation tanks the overall density of the submarine will...?
The density will rise and submerge the submarine.
What word starting with sub means a vessel that can go under water?
The vessel is a submarine.
Differences between a ship and a submarine?
a ship floats on the water and a submarine can go underwater and on top of the water
