That's nice..and we still don't say that a box has changed it's shape depending on whether or not it's full, so?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I believe the term you are looking for is, 'dislocating'.
Maybe my spelling isn't as good as yours. But that doesn't mean that I'm wrong about a subject.

A box has changed the amount of air it displaced depending on whether it is full or not.

That's hardly the reason, lol. The reason we use the non-novel description is because the sub has not, in fact, changed it's shape.

It's fundamentally truer to the fact that the sub hasn't changed it's shape, simply increased it's mass and therefore overcome the hulls displacement. No different than throwing bricks in a boat till it goes under. Some of the first attempts at subs did use external, detachable ballast. Those subs could more accurately be described as changing their shape..though they didn't do it to submerge..but to surface.

That depends on how your perceive shape. If your perception of shape is largely informed by photographs of the outside of the sub, then perhaps it is natural to perceive the shape as having not changed. If you perceive shape as the geometry of that part of the submarine from which water is excluded, then the shape has manifestly changed.

The buoyancy tank no longer displace water. It accommodate water now.
You get the concept wrong. The displacement is the hull, not things inside it. The tanks weigh one figure empty and another full, but they don't a change the volume of the submarine by going from one to the other.

Submariners perceive shape in a fashion where they don't die on the bottom.

What you are describing here is a Tardis.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

What you describe is not a concept. It is a convention.

What I described there is the core content of the Navy's professional learning course on ships' buoyancy and stability. I propose that the USN knows more about the topic than you do.

The Navys courses need to be simple because seaferrers need to know a lot of thins before they can navigate.
