Is a "Training Cruiser" (CT) in base form, but this form is also considered an "Auxiliary Training Utility" (特務練 / 練習特務艦) in the game.

No gameplay differences linked to this appellation have been observed yet.

Gameplay Notes

Training Cruisers (CT) behave similarly to Light Cruisers, with the ability to increase exp earned from Exercises.

The bonus depends on their position and number in the fleet as well as their level. See below for bonus values:

CT list: Asahi (Base), Katori/Kai , Kashima/Kai Some level intervals have not been sampled yet. Bug: when no CT is flagship, Asahi bonuses do not work.

Repair Ships (AR) have the ability to perform "Anchorage Repairs" outside of sorties, when equipped with Ship Repair Facility, synergizing when several AR are used.

On Kai, when equipped with Ship Repair Facility, they gain the ability to perform "Emergency Anchorage Repairs" during sorties on certain nodes.

Special Mechanics

Base

Has additional behaviors as a CT, giving an experience gain bonus in PVP for SS(V).
Bug(?): when no CT is flagship, Asahi bonuses do not work (maybe not a bug since she has a negative bonus for surface ship).

Stats Exceptions

Base

Is Short Range.
Has 2 equipment slots.

Kai

Has 3 equipment slots.
Is from Speed Group Slow B.
