↑ 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.

Akashi's Improvement Arsenal (改修工廠)

When set as the secretary, Akashi enables the improvement of certain equipment in the game. Refer to Akashi's Improvement Arsenal for more information.

Anchorage Repair (泊地修理)

When Akashi is set as the flagship (of any fleet), she can repair ships subject to the following:

She must remain as the flagship for at least 20 minutes before any repair is done.
- The timer starts counting when Akashi is set as flagship, but...
  - Changing the spot of any ship in the fleet will reset the timer, so effectively the timer doesn't start until the fleet is properly composed.
  - Sending the fleet to sortie will not reset the repair timer...
    - But sending her fleet to expedition will reset the repair timer.
Akashi, by default, can repair herself and the ship in position #2 in her fleet. For each Ship Repair Facility (艦艇修理施設) she has equipped, an additional ship can be repaired at the same time. By obtaining 4 Ship Repairing Facilities (via obtaining multiple Akashi drops), Akashi Kai is capable of repairing ships in all slots if she is equipped with 4 facilities.
- Eligible repair target(s) (which may include herself) must not sustain damage greater than minor damage (小破), and must not be in the dry docks, in order to be repaired.
- Eligible targets do not pass down - for example, if Akashi does not have any Ship Repair Facility equipped, and ship in the 2nd slot is in the dry docks, the ship in the 3rd slot with only minor sustained damage still would not be repaired.
- Eligible targets are determined when the repair is carried out, so Akashi only (in theory) need to have the repair facilities equipped when the timer is greater than 20 minutes. This is a good thing to know since changing equipment does not reset the repair timer.
Akashi cannot repair any ships if she suffered moderate or heavy damage. She also does not repair any ship while she's in the dry docks.
- Akashi does not automatically start repairing other ships when she comes out of the dry docks. You must return to the main screen to reset her timer.
She will continue to perform repairs while the player is offline, just like the dry docks.
Her repair is not affected by fatigue.
Her repair will function when she is flagship of not just the 1st fleet but also the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fleets.

HP Repair Rule

When the repair timer is at 20 minutes or more, returning to the main screen will reset the timer and repair all eligible targets.
HP healed is dependent on the amount of time (in minutes, rounded down) on the timer as well as the normal rate to repair 1 HP to the eligible target, calculated separately for each target.
- For example, if you interrupt the timer at 20 minutes exactly while repairing a Lv104 DD (requires 11 minutes to repair 1 HP), then the DD will only heal 1 HP, whereas if you interrupt the timer at 22 minutes the DD will heal 2 HP.
- However, she will always repair each eligible target at least 1 HP every time repairs are performed, even for ships that normally take longer than 20 minutes to repair a single HP in dry docks. In this case, the ship will be repaired faster by Akashi if the player keeps resetting the timer every 20 minutes.
  - Ships that are repaired faster by Akashi are BB/BBV/CV/AR from Lv93, CA/CAV/FBB/CVL/AS from Lv131.
The time to fully repair a ship using anchorage repair is roughly the same as the dry docks.
- Specifically, using the dry docks adds 30 seconds to the total repair time; anchorage repair rounds the repair time up to the next full minute. However, repairs via dry docks can be cut short by up to 1 minute, so unless the ship takes more than 20 minutes to repair 1 HP, dry docks repair would normally always be faster.
The total repair cost required by Akashi to repair a ship is the same as the cost for dock repair unless interrupted. The repair cost for anchorage repair is usually greater than the dock repair cost.
- When a ship is repaired by Akashi, the cost of the repair follows the normal rule (see here for details of calculation), but is rounded up (instead of down), unless the ship is healed to full by that repair.
- If you cannot afford to repair the ship in the dry docks due to insufficient resources, Akashi will not repair the ship, even if other conditions are fulfilled and you have sufficient resource to heal any HP.

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, fleeing 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 mobile manufacturing complex.
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 unparalleled reparation abilities compared to standard onshore factories. Her ability to repair ships efficiently was what made her a priority target by the Americans.
She is required for quest A45.
