How submarine caused to submerge without use propulsion propeller and fins?
A submarine can submerge by filling ballast and trimmer tanks with sea water. The additional weight will take the submarine down. To resurface, the submarine will blow the sea water out of the tanks using compressed air. The air in the tanks make the submarine buoyant, so it rises and floats on the surface. Though a stationary submarine can submerge in this way, it usually submerges going forward and using diving plane (fins) to steepen the dive, so getting under the surface faster.
