A shipping vessel including a train for executing underwater travel is disclosed. The train is formed by a plurality of segments hingedly coupled to one another in a series. Each segment includes one or more variable ballast tanks and one or more hydrodynamic features. The shipping vessel includes a control system configured to cause the one or more variable ballast tanks of the plurality of segments to be selectively filled with and expelled of a fluid to correspondingly change buoyancies of the plurality of segments. The control system is configured to control the one or more hydrodynamic features in each segment to translate an underwater downward acceleration and the underwater upward acceleration into a desired direction as at least one of pitch and yaw. Thus, executing a glide maneuver to glide up and down underwater among the train of the plurality of segments and along a glide path.
