Three soft ballast tanks will be used to trim the boat while submerged. One at the rear and two more at the front, just behind the cabin wall. Ballast tanks are simply containers that can store air or water in order to increase or decrease lift. Soft ballast simply means that bottom of the container is open to the water, so that the air inside the container is being compressed.
Pretty cool hey?
