actually a submarine has a cartridge on the inside of its body called a "Ballist Tank" which stores compressed air and seawater. The more seawater that is in the ballist tank the deeper it sinks, the more compressed air that is stored will make it rise up to the surface.

How does a steel submarine float on top of the water while it is in the harbor?
When a subs surfaced, it's a regular ship. It displaces water (it's filled with air NOT WATER).

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.

Landmines are positioned under earth and leaves. A mine for a submarine hangs in the water below the water surface, or is ejected from a ship's deck to float down to the depth of the submarine.
What can float in the water?
Many things can float in water. An object will float based on 2 main factors. They are density and shape. If an object is too dense, it will sink. But why would shape matter? The shape of the object affects how the water is displaced. If the weight of the water displaced is more than the weight of the object that is touching the water, the object will float. So the shape affects how much water is displaced therefore determines if an object will float.
The density of a submerged submarine is about the same as the density of?
The dnsity of a submerged submarine is the same as the density of the water if the density of the submarine was grater it will sink, if the density was less it would float.
