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.

This is reflected in her special CT bonuses.

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:

Introduction Play	Admiral, good work. I am the training special operations ship, Asahi. Yes, that's right. I was formerly a Shikishima-class battleship. Oh it's not important, that was a long time ago. I look forward to working with you.
Introduction Play	提督、お疲れ様です。私、練習特務艦、朝日です。はい、そうです。かつては戦艦、敷島型です。いいえ、昔のことです。よろしくお願い申し上げます。
Introduction Play	Good work, Admiral. I'm the repair ship Asahi. Yes, that's right. My weaponry is... Um, I set up my dummy battery. I hope my machine tools will be of some assistance.
Introduction Play	提督、お疲れ様です。工作艦、朝日です。はい、そうです。武装は、あの、偽装砲塔を設けました。私の工作機械で、皆さんのお修繕、少しでもお力になれば。
Library Play	I'm Asahi, a main line battleship of the era before that war. I participated in the Battle of Tsushima^[1] as a part of the Shikishima-class battleships. As the times changed, I was no longer able to deal with modern warfare, so I was converted into a training ship, and then a construction ship, a valuable rear area asset, and participated in that war. Please remember my journey, as well as how I met my end.
Library Play	あの戦いの一つ前の時代の主力戦艦、朝日です。敷島型戦艦の一隻として、日本海海戦などに参加しました。時代は変わり、近代戦に対応できなくなった私は、練習特務艦、そして貴重な後方戦力、工作艦に改装され、あの大戦に参加します。軌跡と最後、覚えていてくださいませね。

Secretary 3 Play	ごめんなさい。足は早くはないんです。ですから移動時は少し怖いですね。敵の潜水艦などに襲われないように注意しないと。あ、そうだ！波飛沫描いておくと早く見えるかしら？
Idle Play	Ah, Naka-chan. How are you doing after that? Is everything okay?^[2] Naka-chan, center? Center... Ah, Seletar! I wonder if she meant the Seletar military port in Shonan. But really, it's good that she's doing well. I wish I could run on the sea as fast as Naka-chan, but... I wonder if I should ask the Admiral for such a refit?
Idle Play	ああ、那珂ちゃん。その後お加減はどうですか？全然問題ない？那珂ちゃんセンター?センター…あって… セレター！湘南のセレター軍港のことかしら。でも本当、元気そうで何よりです。私も那珂ちゃんみたいに早く海を駆けられるといいのだけれど。提督にそんな改装をお願いしてみようかしら？

If you're being earnest, then I humbly accept. Ah, of course! Please, go ahead and put it on my finger.
Wedding Play	提督、私を呼びになりましたか？はぁ、これを、私に? 提督、ご冗談はやめてくださいな。第一戦で活躍する華やかな艦は他に…え、私がいいの、ですか？ご冗談でないなら、謹んで。あ、もちろん。よろしくてよ、あなた。この指に、はめてくださいな。
Looking At Scores Play	In the past, even I bore the duty of serving as a capital ship. Ah, I'm sorry for bringing up old stories. Yes, here is the information.
Looking At Scores Play	昔はこれでも、主力艦の一翼を担っていたのですよ。あっ、ごめんなさい、昔話なんて。はい、情報はこちらです。

↑ Or "Battle of the Sea of Japan" in Japan.
↑ Asahi performed repairs on Naka, after Naka had been torpedoed by a submarine close to Christmas Island around March 1942
↑ She uses a much older form of the loan word "ice cream".
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ A memorial room to her former torpedo chief, including the keepsakes he left behind. This was where she took her final torpedo hit. The contents of the room were lost when she sank.

00:00 Play	Admiral, it's just past midnight. Today, I, Asahi, will be your secretary ship. There may be some things that I'm lacking in, but please let me know if there is anything I can improve on. I'm counting on you.
00:00 Play	提督、ちょうど深夜零時を回りました。本日はこの朝日が秘書艦を務めさせていただきます。何かと足りないことがあるやもしれませんが、何でもおっしゃってくださいね。お願いします。
01:00 Play	0100. The fleet, all documents, have been processed by me. Please, relax and enjoy yourself tonight.
01:00 Play	マルヒトマルマル。艦隊、書類はすべて、この朝日が処理しておきました。今夜はどうぞ、ごゆっくりなさってください。
02:00 Play	0200. Oh, right! How about something sweet? Handmade ice cream! I'll bring some out, ok? Please wait a moment!
02:00 Play	マルフタマルマル。そうだ！甘いものはいかがですか？手作りのアイスクリン！お待ちしますね！お待ちくださいませ！
03:00 Play	0300. Admiral, how was the ice cream? Sweet things make you feel better, don't they? Yes, I like it too！
03:00 Play	マルサンマルマル。提督、アイスクリンはいかがでしたか。甘いものって、気持ちが優しくなりますよね。はい、私も好きです！
04:00 Play	040-. Oh, Admiral, you're taking a break? Yes, I'm still fine. I'll let you sleep for a bit. You have a surprisingly cute sleeping face. Fufufu. I suppose this is a small perk of this role.
04:00 Play	マルヨンマッ、あら、提督お休みに？うん、まだ大丈夫。少しだけ寝かせて差し上げよう。意外と可愛い寝顔。うふふ、少しだけ、役得ね。
05:00 Play	0500. Admiral, it's about time... Ah! Oh my... Fufufu... Admiral, good morning. No, no, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Will you be fine working for a bit more?
05:00 Play	マルゴーマルマル。提督、そろそろ…わっ、あら。うふふ、提督、おはようございます。いえいえ、よろしくてよ。お気遣いなく。もう少し、こうしてます?
06:00 Play	Admiral, it is 0600. I'll wake up the fleet. Fleet, all hands, attention! All hands, attention! It's a refreshing morning!
06:00 Play	提督、マルロクマルマルです。艦隊に総員おこしかけますね。艦隊、総員、おこし! 総員、おこし! 起床! 爽やかな朝です!
07:00 Play	0700. Now, it's breakfast! Dig in! I made some bread today. Western cuisine is good too. Eh? You want barley or white rice? After I already made the bread...
07:00 Play	マルナナマルマル。さあ、朝食です。召し上がれ。今日はパンにしてみました。西洋の食事も良いものですよ。えっ、麦飯か銀シャリがいい? せっかく作ったのに．．．
08:00 Play	0800. The Admiral was kind enough to eat some bread, so I'll let it go this time. I've also made some barley rice. Well, let's add some bettara^[1] as well. Oh, you're really digging in. You really like rice, don't you? Even though it's good to have bread once in a while...
08:00 Play	マルハチマルマル。。提督はパンも食べてくれたので、仕方ありません。麦飯も炊きました。さあ、特別にべったらもおつけしましょう。あら、いい食べっぷり。やはりお米が好きなんですね。たまにならパンもいいのに。
09:00 Play	0900. Now then, that's the morning cleaning done as well. Admiral, shall we go see the harbor?
09:00 Play	マルキューマルマル。さぁ、朝のお片付けも終わりました。提督、港の方を見ていきましょうか。
10:00 Play	1000. I wonder if there's a ship that needs repairs... I will do what I can to repair them.
10:00 Play	ヒトマルマルマル。修理が必要な艦はいないかしら。私が可能な限り、お修繕いたします。
11:00 Play	1100. That's right, these are precious machine tools I've equipped in the ship. I wish to be of use to you as much as possible.
11:00 Play	ヒトヒトマルマル。そうですね、艦内に装備したせっかくのこの工作機械。できるだけお役に立ちたいと存じます。
12:00 Play	1200. Now, let's have lunch. Don't worry, lunch is definitely rice, my onigiri to be exact. There's pickled plum flavor of course, as well as bonito flakes. Here you go, enjoy!
12:00 Play	ヒトフタマルマル。さぁ、お昼にいたしましょう。安心してください、お昼はちゃんとお米、朝日のおにぎりです。梅干しはもちろん、おかかもありますよ。どうぞ召し上がれ！
13:00 Play	1300. Would you like another onigiri? Here, have some tea. Eat well, let's get through the afternoon.
13:00 Play	ヒトサンマルマル。おにぎりもう一ついかがですか？お茶、はいどうぞ。ちゃんと食べて、午後を乗り切って参りましょう。
14:00 Play	140... Oh, Akashi! How are you? As expected, the latest equipment. It's wonderful. A couple of machine tools and cranes... No! That's, that's unbelievable!
14:00 Play	ヒトヨンマルマッ。あら、明石ちゃん、ごきげんよう！さすがに最新の装備ね、素敵だわ～。一つ二つ工作機材とクレーンを、いいえ！うそ、うそよ！
15:00 Play	1500. Akashi really seems to be busy every day. Akashi, if you need any help, please tell me. If there is anything I can help with at all!
15:00 Play	ヒトゴーマルマル。明石ちゃん、本当に毎日忙しそう。明石ちゃん、何か手伝えることがあったら、私にも言ってくださいね。私にも何かお手伝いできることがあれば！
16:00 Play	1600. I'm really glad that nothing happened today. The quiet sea, that's the best part. Really.
16:00 Play	ヒトロクマルマル。今日も何事もなくて、本当によかった。静かな海。それが何よりです、本当に。
17:00 Play	1700. Look at that! The sunset is so beautiful! No matter what era it is, I can't help but fall in love with the sunset. It's strange.
17:00 Play	ヒトナナマルマル。見てくださいな、夕日があんなに綺麗。いつの時代でも、夕日は見惚れてしまいますね。不思議です。
18:00 Play	1800. Admiral, I'll prepare your dinner as well. What should we have for dinner? Oh, that's right! How about beefsteak? It's a bit high calorie, but that's fine, right? I'll cook it for you!
18:00 Play	ヒトハチマルマル。提督、お夕食も朝日がご準備しますね。今晩は何がいいかしら。そうだ！ビフテキなんてどうですか。少しハイカラでいいですよね。ご用意します！
19:00 Play	1900. Admiral, thanks for waiting. I made my special steak and omelette rice. Now, eat up. Let's have some beers as well, yes?
19:00 Play	ヒトキューマルマル。提督、お待たせしました。朝日特製のビフテキと、ライスはオムライスにしてみたの。さぁ、召し上がれ。ビールもあけましょうか。
20:00 Play	2000. Admiral, maybe it's time to switch from beer to sake? Would you like me to buy some? I'd be happy to. Please wait a little, fufufu.

21:00 Play	フタヒトマルマル。ロシアとの、あの海戦ですか。そうですね。今思うと紙一重の部分もありましたが、結果大勝利となりました。考えてみると．．．
22:00 Play	2200… When I think about it, that great victory might be one of the causes of the devastating defeat that would eventually come later^[2]. Victory and defeat, glory and demise... One ends up thinking about a lot of things.
22:00 Play	フタフタマルマル。考えてみると、あの大勝利が、結果的には壊滅的大敗北を生む、遠因の一つなのかもしれません。勝利と敗北。栄光と終焉。いろいろと考えてしまいますね。
23:00 Play	2300. But, this quiet sea, this quiet time, I feel that it's a precious thing I wouldn't give up for anything. Oh? It's already this late? Admiral, good night. Sweet dreams.

↑ Bettara is daikon (white Japanese radish) pickled in salted rice yeast
↑ Asahi could be referring to multiple things here - that the victories at the Battle of the Yellow Sea and at Tsushima inflated Japan's belief in its own capabilities by WWII, or that it fed the obsession with recreating another battleship-based decisive battle in Japan's WWII strategy.
