Normal ships are designed to move on the surface of the water. Submarines are designed to be able to submerge and travel under the water's surface, as well as on the surface.
When normal ships go down, they stay down. Submarines are able to come back up after they go down.
All American submarines are nuclear powered. With the exception of Aircraft carriers, surface ships are powered conventially.

How do submarine use Archimedes' principle?
Using Archimedes' Principle, it is clear that a change in mass of an object affects how much liquid has to be displaced. In submarines, this is controlled by ballast tanks which are found between the submarine's inner and outer hulls.. When the tanks are empty, the submarine has less mass and it floats like a normal ship. As water is allowed into the tanks, the mass of the submarine increases, the downward gravitational force on the submarine increases and the submarine begins to sink. Careful balancing of the water ballast enables the craft to stay at any chosen depth.
