Roles of support ships

Amphibious Warfare

• Amphibious assault ships can only carry certain guns & ship-based aircraft.
• Akitsu Maru is currently the only amphibious assault ship
  • LHA is one amphibious warfare type & the agreed stand-in as there is no equivalent.
    • Historically, Akitsu Maru was a landing craft carrier, & in the hopes of becoming an escort aircraft carrier, her remodel widened the flight deck, increasing the ship's aircraft carrying capacity.
  • This role is reflected in Akitsu Maru being required for some installation type bosses.

Repair

• Repair ships (AR) can repair other ships in the same fleet.
• Akashi is currently the only Repair Ship.
  • For details, see Anchorage Repair (泊地修理) .

Replenishment

• Hayasui is currently the only fleet oiler. She carried facilities for recon and torpedo bombing aircraft as well as dry goods.

Training

• Training ships are designed to assist sailors in ocean-going life & ship operation.
• Katori, Kashima and Asahi are currently the only Training Cruisers.
  • CLt is the agreed stand-in as there is no equivalent.
    • Historically, training cruisers were part of the kantei category, gunkan subdivision. They were not part of the tokumutei (special service, i.e. auxiliaries)].

  • They can use the same equipment as a light cruiser.
