In comedy 'Down Periscope'
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116130/
cook Buckman released enough gas to be detected by enemy sonarmen as 'probable whale fart'.

Did the pressure inside the USS Stingray change?

I believe it was the sound that his release made. Sound waves carry far and wide underwater.

Technically speaking, something onboard a submarine is seen ballast. food, gasoline, restoration areas, torpedos, missiles, human beings, etc, etc. whilst the Diving Officer is determining how lots water to place into the quite a few trim tanks he's taking each and all the above into attention and greater. yet, no longer purely is it to be sure how lots water ought to be taken onboard to allow the submarine to submerge and attain impartial bouyancy, yet in addition to allow the sub to attain a "0" bubble with reference to the two checklist and trim. considerable Ballast Tanks or MBT's as before reported are used solely for diving and surfacing the deliver and that they are exterior to the deliver's tension hull. inner tanks (of which there are various, yet we are able to easily concern ourselves with variable ballast tanks) are used to advantageous music the diving difficulty off the boat. Water canm be moved forward and aft as nicely as component to component or athwartships by ability of the Trim device. Water may be flooded into particular of those tanks or pumped overboard through fact the area dictates. intensity administration Tanks are used for soaring (missile launches or diver lock in/lock out methods) whilst the deliver desires to be held surprisingly much completely nonetheless at a definite intensity. intensity administration of a submarine relies upon on ballast and velocity and the attitude of the planes (stern and fairwater or bow). yet in addition a great deal relies upon on the salinity of the water and to a smaller degree the temperature. The greater saline the water is (saltier) the greater weight the water can help.

No. To be release, the air would have to be at a higher pressure than the surrounding water. That means the gas would have had to be released from the separately pressurized tank used to fill the ballast tank when one wishes to surface.

The pressure did change, but very little.

You had a compressed gas travel into a lower pressure sealed environment (for this discussion). If it was not lower pressure outside of the body, farts would travel inward and one would get a funny bloated feeling:-)

Hope this helps....... That movie kills me, especially the tatoo.

most likely no, even though the submarine is pressured from all sides, the inner enviroment is regulated and automatically adapts
