Well, I would say the test results were conclusive, if nothing else.

Submarines dont have to be underwater to still be submersibles.

Sailors are big fans of the boat floating when they want to get on and off the thing. The alternatives are...not so great.

Even submersibles float, just underwater.

The whole thing is absurd.

Submersibles always float, even when above the water line. They retain their state as submarines regardless of where and whence they float.

Even in dry dock, where they "float" in the air due to steel beams, they are still submarines.
