ROV stands for "Remote Operated Vehicle". ROV's are not submarines by definition, since they are robots controlled by tether, by an operator stationed on a support vessel.

How to make something neutrally buoyant?

Figure out the weight of the device (ROV, submarine,etc), and then the weight of the water displaced. When they are equal, the device is neutrally buoyant. However, usually engineers create a ROV with a slightly positive or negative bouyancy, personally I perfer a positivly buoyant ROV because if you lose power or the tether is cut the ROV will ascend back up to the top. A more simple answer is that when the gravity & buoyancy are equal it is neutrally buoyant

Why don't they use a US Navy submarine to help cap the oil spill?

They are using ROV's which are like submarines. The unmanned ROV's have been very useful in the various efforts to contain or kill the well. A lot of folks have suggested putting something really heavy, like a submarine over the well. Remember, the oil is flowing through a pipe which connects the underground reservoir to the sea floor. The weight of the sub would buckle the pipe, destroy all seals in the wellbore and make it impossible to cement in the blow-out permanently. Similar result would happen by using explosives down the wellbore.
