This answer addresses the modern military submarines. There is a bit of variation on the theme, and a bit more when considering other types of boats. When submarines are submerged and underway, they are neutrally buoyant. The boat is set up this way so that minimal effort is required to control depth. (If the boat isn't sinking or trying to float to the surface, the operators can tend to other things.) With a boat submerged and properly trimmed, the planes are added to the rudder as the hydrodynamic surfaces. There are a couple of set-ups for planes. Boats have stern planes back aft. From there, some have bow planes up front, and some have planes on the superstructure, or sail (conning tower). A boat will have stern planes and bow planes, or it will have stern planes and sail planes. And the planes are used to control the depth. When the boat needs to surface or dive steeply, the bow and stern planes are used to "point" the boat in the desired direction. The angle that the vessel is moving through the water, the "bubble" of the boat, is changed. By tipping the bow planes up and the stern planes down, the boat can be pointed to the surface. Tipped oppositely, the boat heads down. For small changes in depth, both planes are eased in the same direction. Tip both up a bit, and the boat is pulled up through the water. And the boat's bubble isn't changed. Tip both planes down a bit, and the opposite effect results. The boat remains level while slowly changing depth. On the boats with the stern planes and the sail (or fairwater) planes, the depth is changed to dive or surface by using the stern planes in the same manner as in the boats that have both bow planes and stern planes. The fairwater or sail planes are not used. But for small changes of depth, the fairwater planes can be used by themselves. The fairwater planes are approximately amidships, and by tipping them up, the "down" force they impart "pushes the boat down" without changing the bubble of the boat. Make sense? The sail planes take advantage of the boat's neutral buoyancy. The force generated by the planes when they are used will act in a way that causes the boat to sink a bit more or rise a bit more without changing the bubble of the boat. It remains level while slowly changing depth. Use the links to look at pictures of boats and check out their plane configurations.

How deep can a submarine go?
It varies by the type of submarine. United States, Russia, United Kingdom, China, France, and India are examples of nations who have or are assumed to have nuclear submarine capabilities.For security purposes, governments don't give out full specifications on their weapons of war, especially on something as big, expensive, and instrumental as a submarine. The true depth information is classified, probably above "Top Secret". For the general US submarine fleet, the "official" answer is typically around 600 feet. (According to one Navy instructor it was changed from 400 feet when a documentary was aired accidentally showing footage of the depth meter at a depth of around that depth.)Any Navy in the world who operates a nuclear submarine is going to publish a low ballpark figure in the name of national security and secrecy. If everyone knew the exact depth a submarine could submerse to, it'd be easier to kill them. Wikipedia says a Soviet/Russian class Alpha submarine may have successfully operated at a depth of 4,300 feet. But rest assured whatever the published depth of submarine is, it many times greater than that.
How does submarine will move forward and backward?
A submarine moves forward by using its propeller, which is powered by an electric motor or diesel engine. To move backward, the submarine can reverse the direction of the propeller's rotation or adjust the angle of its hydroplanes to control its depth and direction.

What is a landmine and a submarine mine?
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.
A submarine changed its depth by -24 feet each for 6 minutes. What was the total change in depth at the end of the 6 minutes?
The total change in depth is -144 feet.
A submarine descended to a level 230 meters below the surface of the ocean. Later it ascended 95 meters and then dove 120 meters. What was the new depth of the submarine?
The submarine will be at a depth of 255 meters. We work it by 230 - 95 + 120 = First, 230 - 95 = 135, and 135 + 120 = 255 meters
What are the steps to submerge a submarine?
To submerge a submarine, the crew first ensures all hatches are secure and the vessel is ready for diving. Then, they activate the ballast system, which fills ballast tanks with water, increasing the submarine's weight and causing it to sink. The crew monitors depth and pressure, adjusting the ballast as needed to control the descent. Finally, once submerged, they can trim the submarine to maintain a desired depth.
