1. An aircraft comprising: a fuselage of the aircraft;a vessel within the fuselage, wherein the vessel stores a pressurized gas compressed to a first density that allows the aircraft to become submerged under a body of water and to exit the body of water in response to the pressurized gas exiting an orifice of a nozzle in the fuselage, wherein the first density is around one gram per cubic centimeter, and wherein the vessel is pressurized to a first pressure from around 600 atmospheres to around 700 atmospheres, wherein the orifice of the nozzle has a diameter to provide a force created by a release of the pressurized gas through the orifice of the nozzle; and wherein different sections of the aircraft are capable of having different densities relative to a second density of a water; anda lift system to provide lift to the aircraft in an air so that the aircraft takes off into the air from under the body of water in response to the force. 2. The aircraft of claim 1 further comprising: an environmental system, wherein the vessel is connected to the environmental system. 3. The aircraft of claim 2, wherein the pressurized gas is selected from one of an inert gas, air, nitrogen, and oxygen. 4. The aircraft of claim 1 further comprising: a crew compartment in the fuselage having a third density less than the second density. 5. The aircraft of claim 1 further comprising: a fuel system in the fuselage having substantially the second density. 6. The aircraft of claim 1 further comprising: a ballast system in the fuselage allowing the first pressure of the vessel to equal a second pressure at a depth at which the aircraft is located. 7. The aircraft of claim 1 further comprising: a crew compartment in the fuselage having a third density less than the second density;a ballast system in the fuselage capable of allowing the first pressure of the vessel to equal a second pressure at a depth at which the aircraft is located; anda fuel system in the fuselage having substantially the second density. 8. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the vessel, a propulsion system, the ballast system, the crew compartment, and the fuel system in the fuselage are such that the aircraft is neutrally buoyant while the aircraft is submerged under the body of water. 9. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the lift system comprises: a fixed wing system connected to the fuselage, wherein the aircraft is airborne. 10. The aircraft of claim 9, wherein the fixed wing system comprises retractable wings. 11. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the lift system comprises: a propeller connected to a propulsion system. 12. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the lift system comprises: a number of control surfaces capable of controlling a movement of the aircraft. 13. The aircraft of claim 12, wherein the number of control surfaces are capable of controlling the movement of the aircraft in the air and under the body of water. 14. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the aircraft is capable of diving into the body of water from the air. 15. A method for operating an aircraft, the method comprising: storing pressurized gas in a vessel in the aircraft, wherein the pressurized gas is under a first pressure such that the pressurized gas has a first density that allows the aircraft to become submerged under a body of water and to exit the body of water in response to the pressurized gas exiting an orifice of a nozzle in the fuselage, wherein the first density is around one gram per cubic centimeter, and wherein the vessel is pressurized to a second pressure of around 600 atmospheres to around 700 atmospheres, wherein the orifice of the nozzle has a diameter to provide a force created by a release of the pressurized gas through the orifice of the nozzle;providing different sections of the aircraft having different densities relative to a second density of a water;providing a ballast system in the fuselage capable of allowing the second pressure of the vessel to equal a third pressure at a depth at which the aircraft is located; andproviding a lift system to provide lift to the aircraft in the air so that the aircraft takes off into the air from under the body of water in response to the force. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising: sending a nitrogen gas from the vessel to a fuel system in the aircraft to create an inert environment for the fuel system. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising: sending an amount of oxygen from the vessel to a crew compartment and to a propulsion system in the vehicle. 18. The method of claim 15 further comprising: providing a crew compartment in the fuselage having a third density less than the second density; andproviding a fuel system in the fuselage having substantially the second density.
