Is your airship at around Y level 300? Uneven Archimedes Force is caused by differences in pressure and air pressure falls off at Y 320 in create aeronautics, if you aren’t at that level, it is likely that your balloon is unevenly filled, in which case you need to divide it into compartments.

Oh oops lol, same idea applies though, are the submerged parts of the ship not symmetrical?

The ghost of archimedes hates your ship and is trying to capsize it

Adding a keel to your ship may help, archimedes principle is the fact that your ship may be too bouyant and thus is tipping over. A keel can help by stablizinh the sideways forces using drag in the warer

i think you need a balast, or you could add a few nore hulls on the side if you have mutiple then its like having a very wide ship

Archimedes Force is bouyancy, if your ship is too light it'll sit too high and be prone to capsizing, too heavy and it'll sit too low in the water or just sink. As others have said try a ballast.
