Is a "Fleet Oiler" (AO), despite being designated in the game as a:

• "Survey Ship" (AGS / Auxiliary Ship Utility / 特務艦)
• Lighthouse Tender (AGL / 灯台補給 / 灯台補給船)
• Icebreaker (AGB / Auxiliary Icebreaker / 南極観測 / 南極観測船)
• This is reflected in her equipability exceptions only.

Souya (AGL/AGB)'s ship class in-game is the Ice-strengthened General-duties Transport Ship, but is displayed as "LL01" at AGL, and "PL107" at AGB, on her Library page.

Gameplay Notes

Fleet Oilers (AO) can notably refuel ships mid-sortie using Underway Replenishment.

• They can also carry Landing Craft, which is useful for Resource Farming.

1-3 Immortal fuel farming

Thanks to her incredible Luck (77+) and Armor (62) stats, Souya (AGB) (not AGS nor AGL) can exploit damage mechanics to farm on fuel on 1-3.

• Souya needs to:
  • Be on AGB form (last one),
  • Be max modded, especially her armor,
  • Carry a Large armor
    
    (if possible the one at +10 armor),
    • The armor can be put in a Reinforcement Expansion to save one slot,
  • Be moderately damaged (中破), with 7 HPs,
  • Carry as many Landing Craft
    as possible.

When setup like that, Souya can be sortie alone on 1-3,

• She will follow the route A D B E
• One the battle of Node E, thanks to how damages are calculated in Kancolle, she will be virtually immune to damages and so will survive the battle almost every time,
• Once the battle is completed, the sortie can be ended to gather the fuel and restart a run,
• It is possible to farm about 900+ fuel/h "risk free" using this method.

Note

• The method only works on 1-3 Node E, other battles being able to damage Souya.

Special Mechanics

• Can convert between AGS, AGL, and AGB remodels.
  • When converting back to AGS, a 25mm Single Autocannon Mount is given back.

Example of Underway Replenishment translated.

Underway Replenishments are consumable items that are used to restore fuel and ammo mid-sortie when consumed.

• As "consumables", they do not take any equipment slot and appear in the Inventory.
• Only Fleet Oilers (AO) and Kumano Maru can carry them, including in their RE.

When entering a boss node, a prompt will appear giving a choice to use the Underway Replenishment(s) or not.

• The cost of the resupply will be deducted from the stockpile.
• The resupply cannot be activated when having insufficient fuel or ammo.
• The amount of fuel and ammo resupplied depends on
  • The fleet type (single or combined)
  • How many Resupplies are carried.

The resupply rates are as follow:

Used	Single Fleet	Combined Fleet
1	25 %	15 %
2	36 %	27.5 %
3	47 %	40 %

This mechanic should only be used to avoid Fuel penalty or/and Ammo penalty.

Stats Exceptions

AGS/AGB

• Has 3 equipment slots.

AGL

• Has 2 equipment slots.

	特務艦、宗谷です。提督、お逢いできて、光栄です。戦闘艦ではありませんが、私…精一杯、働きます！どうぞよろしく、お願いします！
Introduction Play	I'm the lighthouse tender, Souya. I can't carry any weapons, but... I can carry lots of other things. I'll keep doing my best today too!
	灯台補給船、宗谷です。はい、原則として武装は出来ませんが…様々のものを運ぶことができます。私、今日も精一杯働きます。
Introduction Play	I'm the Antarctic research vessel, Souya. Yes, this orange and white uniform is lovely, isn't it? I've been upgraded quite extensively. I'll keep doing my best, even on a voyage to Antarctica.
	南極観測船、宗谷です。はい、このオレンジと白のユニフォーム素敵ですよね？かなり改装されました。私、南極への旅も、精一杯働きます。
Library Play	I'm Souya. I was built as an ice-strengthened cargo ship. As an IJN special operations ship, I participated in many operations like Operation MI. I was also deployed to that fierce battle in the Solomons. I took on missions like surveying, landings and transporting. After the war, I became everyone's flagship and became a lighthouse tender... After an extensive remodel, I became an Antarctic research vessel and sailed those seas in the Showa era.
	耐氷型貨物船として生まれた宗谷です。海軍特務艦として、MI作戦などの様々な作に参加。激戦のソロモン方面へも展開。測量や揚陸、輸送などの任務に就きました。戦後は、皆さんの旗艦、そして灯台補給船。さらに大改装され、南極観測船として、昭和という時代と、その海を駆け抜けました。
Secretary 1 Play	Do you need a survey done? Or something transported? ...I'll do it!
	測量ですか？輸送ですか？…やります！
Secretary 1 Play	A lighthouse needs resupplying? Leave it to me. I'll do it.
	灯台の補給ですか？お任せください。やります。
Secretary 1 Play	To Antarctica? Leave it to me. I can do it!
	南極ですね？お任せください。もちろん！
Secretary 2 Play	"The Miraculous Ship"? Oh no, I'm not... That's just...
	「奇跡の船」ですか？いえ、いえいえ…そんな…
Secretary 2 Play	"Guardian of the Seas"? ...No, that's not... I was just doing my job.
	「海の守り神」ですか？…いえ、そんな…働くだけです。
Secretary 2 Play	"The ship that makes the impossible, possible"? No, all I did was do the best I could.
	「不可能を可能にする船」？いえ、精一杯頑張るだけです。
Secretary 3 Play	Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... I was originally ordered by foreigners but... A lot of things happened and I was assigned to Yokosuka Naval Base. I even went to that fierce battle in the Solomons.
	はい、昭和というを時代を精一杯働きました…もともとは外国から発注されたんですが…色々あって、横須賀鎮守府所属となりました。激戦のソロモンにも行きました。
Secretary 3 Play	Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... "The Santa Claus of the Sea"? You're being too kind. But I'll carry anything you need. For all your sakes.
	はい、昭和というを時代を精一杯働きました…「海のサンタクロース」？いえいえ。でも、運びますよ。皆さんのために。
Secretary 3 Play	Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... Showa Station, ramming through the ice, blowing up the ice, going on so many Antarctic research expeditions... I remember everything fondly. This peaceful Odaiba in the Reiwa era is also nice.
	はい、昭和と言うを時代を精一杯働きました…昭和基地、チャージング、氷の爆破、幾多の南極観測隊…何もかも皆懐かしいですね。令和の時代の静かなお台場も、いいものです。
Idle Play	That's right. I did surveys-in-force and landings at Saipan, Truk, Rabaul, and that fierce battle at the Solomon Islands. My home port was Yokosuka, but... I ended up going all over the place. Now that I think about it... It's probably a miracle that I made it back in one piece.
	そうですね。サイパン、トラック、そしてラバウル、あの激戦のソロモン諸島で強行測量や揚陸なども行いました。母港は横須賀だったんですけど…色々なところに行きましたね。今考えると、無事に帰ってこれたんのは…たしかに奇跡、かも。
Idle Play	Being a lighthouse tender is an important job. I kept the lighthouses around the country running by delivering essentials and supplies to the lighthouse keepers. That's right, they called me a Pri... I mean, the "Santa Claus of the Sea". It was important work.
	灯台補給船は大事な仕事でした。全国各地の大切な灯台を守る、灯台守の皆さんに、生活物資や補給物資を送りしました。そうですね、ひ…いえ、海のサンタクロースっと呼ばれたこともありました。大切なお仕事、でした。
Idle Play	Charging? That's so nostalgic. I think I can still do it... It's called "Ramming" now? "Ice-Melting Deluge System" ...That sounds so convenient... No, I'm fine. If worst comes to worst, I can just blow myself free... Huh? That's going overboard?
	チャージング航行？懐かしい。まだ、行けるかしら…今は、ラミング航行っていうの？融雪用散水装置？…便利なものがあるですね…いえ、大丈夫。最悪、爆破で進めば…えぇ？強引すぎます？
Secretary Married Play	Are you tired, Capt... Sorry, I mean, Admiral? I'll get you some coffee. I only have frozen food but it's really delicious. Would you like some?
	お疲れですか、船……じゃなかった、提督？コーヒーを入れましょう。私、冷凍ですけど、美味しいもの結構積んでますよ。ご賞味されますか？
Wedding Play	Umm, what's this? ...Are you serious? ...Really? ...Th-th-thank you very much. I'll treasure this. I really will!
