Perhaps the question should be, "How is a submarine like a fish?" because fish came first, and people copied their idea. Some fish have a bladder to vary their buoyancy, just as a submarine does with its ballast tanks. Also, shape makes a difference. Elongated fish and submarines; those with a higher length-beam ratio like Barracuda are very fast, but the shorter and fatter ones like goldfish have more maneuverability in a hydrodynamic environment.
