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.
