I presume there would have to be some coordination with the people controlling the boat's ballast too, since an ADCAP weighs around three and half thousand pounds, so I imagine it would affect the boat's trim when it was shifted into the tube, thus doing it slower would allow the compensation in trim to be more carefully controlled (this is just a guess by the way, but it seems logical).
