No, a floating object has positive buoyancy. A submarine operating underwater is neutrally buoyant.
I am not a native english speaker, thats why i am asking.
Negative buoyancy: sinking
Positive buoyancy/already on the surface: floating
Neutral buoyancy, underwater (sub):
If it isnt floating, what is it? Is there a difference between colloquial use and dictionaries?
