==In-Game Tips==
+
==Trivia==
Akitsumaru is a special ship that has multiple beneficial uses. While she may not be especially useful during the main part of the game, it is recommended to train her for event maps for various reasons. She has been known to be specifically favored for branching in event maps in the past. Additionally, since she is a unique ship class, she is often not restricted in branching rules, which has benefits of its own.
+
;General Information
 
+
* The "Akitsu" in her name means "Dragonfly". This is a reference to the ancient name of Japan "Akitsushima" (秋津洲).
Thanks to this factor, she is often used to carry fighter planes into battle, usually to compliment another ship with a larger flight deck that is also capable of launching planes (such as an aviation ship or Carrier). As such, having her can help assist with gaining an aerial advantage of the enemy fleet in locations where restrictions would prevent your fleet from gaining them otherwise, or when carriers are outright denied favorable routing.
+
* She was launched on the 24th of September 1941.
 
+
* Sunk on the 15th of November 1944 by the submarine [[wikipedia:USS_Queenfish_(SS-393)|''Queenfish'' (SS-393)]].
She may also have beneficial uses for Amphibious Landing Operations since she that is the historical function of her ship class. However, as of this time, there has not been a large enough opportunity to give her a chance to be used in such an operation to gather any concrete data.
 
  
She is also sought after in both event maps and LSC since she will always come with a [[Daihatsu]] by default. She is notably rare and takes time to acquire either way, so do not get discouraged if your hunt is prolonged. Once upgraded, she gives [[Type 3 Spotter/Liaison (ASW)|Type 3 Spotter/Liaison]] and [[Ka-type Observation Autogyro]] which can be used for Aviation ships and Light Carriers to boost their ASW damage against submarines significantly.
+
;Update History
 +
* She was added on the [[Game Updates/2013/December 24th|24th of December 2013]] as part of the [[LSC]] construction pool.
  
Above all else, she can also modify Daihatsu via [[Akashi's Improvement Arsenal]], boosting the effect of how many resources the Daihatsu can return with.
+
;Misc
 
+
* Like [[Maruyu]] she was built for the Imperial Japanese Army instead of the Navy.
==Trivia==
+
* Her monochrome look is based off her historical camouflage.  
* Base ship can equip fighters even though her capacity is 0.
 
* Akitsumaru Kai can launch planes even when she is heavily damaged.
 
* Will act during shelling rounds even if equipped with only fighters, unlike other carriers. She can also attack at night.
 
* Sunk 15 November 1944 by the submarine [[wikipedia:USS_Queenfish_(SS-393)|''Queenfish'' (SS-393)]].
 
* Required for special branching rules on event maps. (Summer 2014, Fall 2014, Winter 2015)
