*Chitose-class seaplane tenders come with a [[Zuiun]] as default equipment at their level 10 remodel.

*Seaplane Tenders can equip depth charges to boost their ASW. They are, however, unable to attack submarines unless equipped with a [[User_blog:Eles99/Equipment_List_by_Type#Seaplane_Bomber|seaplane bomber]].

*Seaplane tenders may perform ASW (a seaplane bomber or the [[Ka-type Observation Autogyro]] is required for this); they may additionally equip depth charges (and for [[Akitsushima#Upgrade|Akitsushima Kai]], sonars for the ASW synergy).

**They can take down SS with the right equipment (such as [[Ka-type Observation Autogyro]]), however BBVs and CLVs usually get them first for 1-5 runs.

*Chitose-class seaplane tenders can be remodeled into [[EliteCVL|light aircraft carriers]] at level 15, losing all the specialties of seaplane tenders, but in turn, gaining all the specialties of light aircraft carriers. You can find their carrier stats on [[EliteCVL|the CVL page]].

*Chitose-class seaplane tenders can be equipped with one or more [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] midget subs to launch a preemptive torpedo strike. They can also do [[Combat#.C2.A0Artillery_Spotting_.28Post-Cap_Modifier.29|artillery spotting]] if equipped with main guns and seaplane.

*Chitose-class seaplane tenders can be remodeled into [[EliteCVL|light aircraft carriers]] at level 15, losing all the specialties of seaplane tenders, but in turn, gaining all the specialties of light aircraft carriers. You can find the stats of their CVL class at [[EliteCVL|this page]] to aid in your decision.

*Chitose and Chiyoda are the '''only''' ships (apart from [[Akitsu Maru]]) that can equip [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft]], an equipment that increases resources gained via expedition by 5% per equipped Landing Craft capped at 20% (4 equipped). This increase is multiplicative with great success results.

*Required for expedition 36 and quest A9.

*Required for expedition 36 and quest A9.

**Expedition 36 requires 2 AVs. As Expedition 36 is needed to unlock Expedition 37, 38, and 39, and as expedition 37 and 38 has a very high resources return per hour, it is advisable to keep them ''as AVs'' until you have cleared expedition 36.

**Expedition 36 requires 2 AVs. As Expedition 36 is needed to unlock Expedition 37, 38, and 39, and as expedition 37 and 38 has a very high resources return per hour, it is advisable (if either Mizuho and/or Akitsushima was not obtained) to keep an extra Chitose and/or Chiyoda ''in their AV form'' until you have cleared expedition 36.

:*EXpedition 40 also requires 2 AVs.

*AV can be used for expeditions that require CV.

*AV can be used for expeditions that require CV.

**The running cost of unremodeled Chitose-class seaplane tender is equal to or lower than all CV and CVLs (except [[Houshou]]). This makes unremodeled Chitose and Chiyoda great members for expeditions requiring CV.
