Roles of support ships

• Amphibious Warfare
  • Amphibious assault ships can only carry certain guns & ship-based aircraft.
  • Akitsu Maru is currently the only amphibious assault ship
    • LHA is one amphibious warfare type & the agreed stand-in as there is no equivalent.
      • Historically, Akitsu Maru was a landing craft carrier, & in the hopes of becoming an escort aircraft carrier, her remodel widened the flight deck, increasing the ship's aircraft carrying capacity.
    • This role is reflected in Akitsu Maru being required for some installation type bosses.

• Repair
  • Repair ships (AR) can repair other ships in the same fleet.
  • Akashi is currently the only Repair Ship.
    • For details, see Anchorage Repair (泊地修理) .

• Replenishment
  • Submarine tenders can supply & support submarines.
  • ​Taigei is currently the only submarine tender (AS).
    • She does not yet have any special abilities, but she is required for Expedition 39 & enables superior pathing in 6-1.
  • Fleet Oilers (AO) carried large ammounts of petroleum products for underway replenishment of carrier air groups, and occasionally also had facilities for dry stores.
  • Hayasui is currently the only fleet oiler. She carried facilities for recon and torpedo bombing aircraft as well as dry goods.
    • She is capable of equipping Maritime Resupply, a consumable item which restores the fleet's fuel and ammo by 25%.

• Training
  • Training ships are designed to assist sailors in ocean-going life & ship operation.
  • Katori and Kashima are currently the only Training Cruisers.
    • CLt is the agreed stand-in as there is no equivalent.
      • Historically, training cruisers were part of the kantei category, gunkan subdivision. They were not part of the tokumutei (special service, i.e. auxiliaries)].
      • Indeed, after about a year of training, Katori was equipped & operated as a regular light cruiser.
    • They can use the same equipment as a light cruiser.
    • However, they does not count as a light cruiser for most fleet composition requirements.
    • They provide an experience bonus in PvP.
    • Katori is required as flagship for Expedition 32.
