~~Thy have ballast chambers called ballonets which, attached to an air pump, can be pressurized or depressurized. This changes the overall buoyancy of the ship. If you pack the ballonets full of pressurized air, the airship will sink. If you vent them, it will rise.~~ a person with flying experience tells me this is incorrect, please disregard!
