Submarines submerge by increasing their mass, not by changing their shape. Just a thought.

That’s one way to look at it.

Another way is when the submarine is floating, it’s water displacing shape is the usual cigar shaped cylinder that exclude water from its outside.  When it submerges, it’s water displacing shape becomes a complicated thing in which various parts of the interior of cylinder  transforms into pinched off pockets of the exterior water.

So the submarine changed its water displacing shape, even if not its hydrodynamic shape, when it submerges.

I never stated that mass isn't a factor here, that is why you work on shape and size , to support more mass. Succubus saied that shape isn't important and has nothing to do with it, that is why I didn't agree with him.

Yes.   A submarine submerges by reducing the amount of water it displaces.  It does so by allowing water into parts of its interior, name the ballast tanks, that formerly excluded, thus displaced, water. Thus it now displaces less water.

Nah, it increased it's mass.  

A less torturous but still strained idea of a sub changing shape to submerge is when it alters the orientation of it's planes.  If it has enough thrust it can fight it's buoyancy....but it's more efficient to increase mass.

Not really, because the buoyancy tanks are closed off from the outside. The water in the tanks is the same as the equipment or the crew when it comes to buoyancy.
