let me double check the hull speed formula for datacenters.

  and buoyancy from unvented exhaust from fuel cells ... Edit: I'm very silly, confusing a few thoughts: e.g natural gas > hydrogen conversion in a cell, assuming some storage of the hydrogen, and less dense non salt water from that - all reducing the pod density but hardly exhausts one traps like a submarine vents. What would please my errant mind, growing up by the sea, and startled at effluent pipes i could never believe were far enough out, at low tide, would be biomass conversion fuel cells, attached to sewage pipes otherwise dumping into the sea, but i don't know if treatment renders the mass useless as a energy source. The vision in my head was of container pods popping up, floated from their submersion, for maintenance, kinda being hooked in like exhausted tuna, winched aboard a maintenance vessel once a year, for a data catch... or being fed denser storage or servers... However, what this might do well for, is submerging compute jobs that are expected to run for a long time without much or any external communication. Are there any simulation jobs where enough compute fits inside such a container, so requires mo networking to other containers, and can be retrieved when job complete, to gather results? Would the energy savings make any sense from a cooling pov, if a hypothetical internal power source could last say a year or two?
