|translation = I'm Akashi, the only repair ship in the Combined Fleet. I was in charge of repairing ships damaged in the front lines when I was stationed in the Truk Anchorage.<ref>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.</ref> I supported the fleet from behind right up until the destruction of the Anchorage.<ref>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.</ref> Pleased to meet you.
