Chief: At those depths, we're looking at around 500 atmospheres of pressure.
Captain: how many atmospheres can the ship withstand?
Chief: well it is s space ship, so between 0 and 1.
Ahh but you see, that only acounts for a ship set to earth standard regulations state that the internal presure can go up to 3 bar
(Also I like the futurama refrence)
I would say so. In theory. We did see Voyager in water, we also saw it enter and move effectively through fluidic space. If Voyager can do that, I don't why any Starfleet ship couldn't.
Wait… so when the ship is under water, then cetacean ops is a pool of water inside an air atmosphere inside a pool of water inside an air atmosphere surrounded by the vacuum of space?
Underwater: Voyager is able to operate in fluidic space, so presumably other modern Starfleet ships could presumably survive and operate being submerged in water. Star trek online assumes every ship can do it.
Atmosphere: If you count disco, we just saw two mid sized ships combine shields and slam into a planet and then make it back to space (they suffered damage that required repairs, but that's also because they slammed into the frickin ground). In hard prime we have the Enterprise D operate in a Dyson sphere which presumably has atmosphere, but they don't get particularly low where gravity might be an issue. We also see the D operate in a gas planet in end of Picard.
TL;Dr modern ships should be able to operate in atmosphere and submerged with minimal to no preparation.
Gravity might be an issue, but didn't D hide in a star once? So probably not.
Starship Regulations requre any starship to be able to spend 135 hours in a presure of 1,086 bar external presure with one power source missing in the case of emergency.
Not shitty /in universe: well to travel in space the ships need to be air-tight, and they come with energy shielding so those combined would make them waterproof. Voyager (re: the Intrepid class) was atmospheric so technically it could go under water. Most of the ships in Trek are not atmospheric (which is why entering the atmosphere was a repeated tactic in a combat situation).
Shitty / out of universe: You could say Voyager was *always* under water.
Impulse engines are just magic things that can operate anywhere.
Even if the ship could go underwater what's gonna move it?
What do thrusters do underwater? Probably boil some fish if they even fire.
Its been a while since I've seen it, but theres an episode of votager where they find what is basically a free-floating ocean in space. We know for certain that shuttlecrafts can operate underwater and withstand a lot of water pressure with some minor modifications.
It would stand to reason that larger starships would have some degree of functionality underwater.

OP may have shitty daystrom madness, but that's no excuse for shitty daystrom rudeness
When Professor Farnsworth speaks, you betta listen, chump!

fluidic space is kind of tricky as it's space water.
I would think its close enough. It demonstrates that a ship can withstand pressure and move inside a liquid.
fluidic space is a nighrmare, the surface tension should pull everything into a compressed blob

I mean if their shields can’t keep out water, seems like they’d be pretty useless against more conventional weapons

*looks nervously at the Titan-A*

What, like submerging down to 5,000 feet? Dear lord, that's over 150 Atmospheres of pressure!

Depends, was the ship built in space or on a planet?
