*Chitose-class seaplane tenders come with two [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] as default equipment at their level 12 remodel.

*Seaplane Tenders can equip depth charges to boost their ASW. They are, however, unable to attack submarines unless equipped with a [[User_blog:Eles99/Equipment_List_by_Type#Seaplane_Bomber|seaplane bomber]].

*Chitose-class seaplane tenders can be equipped with one or more [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] midget subs to launch a preemptive torpedo strike. They can also do [[Combat#.C2.A0Artillery_Spotting_.28Post-Cap_Modifier.29|artillery spotting]] if equipped with main guns and seaplane.

*Chitose-class seaplane tenders can be remodeled into [[EliteCVL|light aircraft carriers]] at level 15, losing all the specialties of seaplane tenders, but in turn, gaining all the specialties of light aircraft carriers. You can find the stats of their CVL class at [[EliteCVL|this page]] to aid in your decision.

*Aside from [[Akitsu Maru]], they are the '''only''' ship class that can equip [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft]] which increase resources drop via expedition up to 5% per Landing Craft, up to 4 of this Craft can be equipped and thus the maximum of 20% more resources gain per successful expedition.

*Chitose and Chiyoda are the '''only''' ships (apart from [[Akitsu Maru]]) that can equip [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft]], an equipment that increases resources gained via expedition by 5% per equipped Landing Craft capped at 20% (4 equipped). This increase is multiplicative with great success results.

*They can take down SS with the right equipment but the effect is fairly low.

*Required for expedition 36 and quest A9.

*Like above they are required for expedition 36 and quest A9.

**Expedition 36 requires 2 AVs. As Expedition 36 is needed to unlock Expedition 37, 38, and 39, and as expedition 37 and 38 has a very high resources return per hour, it is advisable to keep them ''as AVs'' until you have cleared expedition 36.

**Expedition 36 requires '''both''' of the Chitose sisters. Expedition 36 is needed to unlock expedition 37, 38, and 39, and as expedition 37 and 38 has a very high resources drop per hour, it is advisable to keep them until you have cleared expedition 36.

*AV can be used for expeditions that require CV.

**AV (or CVL) can be used for expeditions that require CV. Unlike CVL, AV can equip [[Drum Canister]] and [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft]].

**The running cost of unremodeled Chitose-class seaplane tender is equal to or lower than all CV and CVLs (except [[Houshou]]). This makes unremodeled Chitose and Chiyoda great members for expeditions requiring CV.

*Chitose and Chiyoda can also equip [[Drum Canister]]s.
