Best Answer

A submarine has tanks that are called ballast tanks. When these tanks are flooded with sea water, the submarine sinks because the sub weighs more than the water it displaces. To rise again, the sub reduces its weight by pushing compressed air into the ballast tanks. The air forces the sea water out and sub returns to the surface. It maneuvers using its rudder and planes.
