Introduction	工作艦、明石です。 少々の損傷だったら、私が泊地でばっちり直してあげますね。お任せください！	I'm Repair ship Akashi. If you take a little damage, I can fix you up in the base. Just leave it to me!
Library Intro	連合艦隊唯一の工作艦、明石です。 トラック泊地に進出し、前線で損傷した艦艇の修理を担当したわ。トラック泊地が壊滅するその日まで、前線の艦隊を陰で支えたのよ。 よろしくね。	I'm Akashi, the only dedicated repair ship in the combined fleet. I was in charge of repairing ships damaged in the front lines when I was stationed in the Truk Anchorage. I supported the fleet from behind right up until the destruction of the Anchorage. Pleased to meet you.	During the war Akashi operated out of the Japanese base in the Truk atoll where she repaired various types of battle-damaged Japanese warships, including the Shōkaku in October 1942 and the Yamato in December 1943. In February 1944 the Americans made a raid on Truk (Operation Hailstone), sinking and damaging many ships. Akashi was damaged in these attacks and escaped to the Japanese atoll of Palau. On 30 March 1944, while anchored off Urukthapel in the Palau islands, Akashi was hit numerous times by bombs and rockets from American aircraft from Task Group 58, during Operation Desecrate One. She was sunk in shallow water with her bridge and cranes still remaining above the water

Anchorage Repair (泊地修理)

With Akashi set as the flagship, she can repair both herself and a damaged ship in position #2 in her fleet. She becomes able to repair the ship in position #3 as well, when she has a Ship Repair Facility (艦艇修理施設) equipped. Each addition of this equipment to her inventory will allow her to repair an extra ship at the same time. Currently up to 3 Ship Repairing Facility items can be obtained (one by default, one as April E4 completion reward, and one from Lv35 remodel) therefore ships up to position #5 can be repaired at the same time.

• Her repairing is carried out in the form of 'ticks' every 20 minutes.
  • She must remain as the flagship for 20 minutes before each tick of repair carries out.
  • The repair target(s), including herself, must not sustain damage greater than minor damage (小破). Ships with moderate damage (中破) and greater will not be repaired. The same rule applies to herself.
  • Changing the spot of any ship in the fleet will reset the timer.
  • Sending the fleet to sortie will not reset the repair timer.
  • She will continue to repair while the player is offline, just like the dry docks.
  • Her repair is not affected by fatigue.
  • She doesn't need a Ship Repair Facility to repair herself.
  • As she will always repair a minimum of 1hp every 20 minutes, ships that take longer than 20 minutes to repair a single hp in dry docks will be repaired faster by Akashi. Otherwise, the time to repair a ship with Akashi is exactly the same as the dry docks.
  •  The total repair cost required by Akashi to repair a ship is the same as the cost for dock repair unless interupted. The Akashi repair cost will be greater than the dock repair cost if the repair is interupted (cost more).

Interupted Repair Cost Calculation

• Example of repair interuption :
  • Entering the main menu page from other pages
• If the repair was interupted at 20minutes(1 tick), minimum repair cost applies.
• If the repair was interupted after 40minutes or later, the cost will be
  • minimum repair cost x (Amount of HP repaired before the repair was interupted + 1) / 2

Note

In some case for ships with long repair time, although the HP repair should be 1HP per tick,  the HP repaired may be more than the minimum repair if left for longer than 40 minutes. Eg. 1HP per tick, but 3HP repaired if left for 40minutes.(due to decimals in HP repaired? requires verification)

Minimum Repair Cost (verifying)

• AKA cost per intermediate tick​.
• The minimum repair cost depends on ship class.
• The minimum repair cost can be generally calculated using
  • [Dock repair cost x Ship type modifier / Total number of ticks ]
  • The cost will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
  • Verification of accurate ship type modifier is currently in progress.

Trivia

• NPC Premium shop and LSC ship.

• The only specialized repair ship operated by the IJN (the other two were cancelled)
• Escaped Operation Hailstone on Truk in February 20, 1944, fled to Palau
• Sunk while anchored in Palau on March 30, 1944 during Operation Desecrate One
• Salvaged and scrapped in 1954.
• Akashi had 17 different factories within her body. Factories included furnace and anvils amongst other things - a moving factory.
• Out of the 779 crew in her, 443 were mechanics, which was not limited to military personnel.
• Had 2 chimneys. The front chimney was used to exhale smoke from the factories - the one you see around her right arm.
• Had power generation capabilities that rivalled the Yamato (4800kw) in order to power her machines.
• Had German machinery loaded, allowing her to have unparalled reparation abilities compared to standard onshore factories. Her ability to repair ships efficiently was what made her a priority target by the Americans.
