There is a vessel that IS called a submersible - it is similar to a jack-up in that the bottom is submersed and actually on the ground under water. A semi-submersible-floating is not anchored or tethered. They simply fill the ballast tanks to submerse the bottom of it for stability.
Here's hoping everyone is found safe....
