    The document contains data from tests measuring the effect of lowering a ship's leg on its center of gravity (VCG) and allowable center of gravity (AKG). When the leg was lowered from fully up to depths between 5-60 meters during ocean transit, the VCG decreased and moved closer to the AKG. Lowering the leg to between 30-50 meters brought the VCG closest to but still above the AKG. A separate test of field transit also showed the VCG decreasing but remaining above the AKG as the leg was lowered from fully up to depths of 35 meters.
