Is a "Fleet Oiler" (AO), despite being designated in the game as a:

• "Utility Ship" (AF / 雑役船) as Nankai,
• "Food Supply Ship" (APF / 給糧艦) as Nosaki.
• This is reflected in her equipability exceptions and special mechanic.

Nankai's ship class in-game is the Nosaki-class, but is displayed as "Reefer Ship" on her Library page.

Gameplay Notes

Fleet Oilers (AO) can notably refuel ships mid-sortie using Underway Replenishment.

• They can also carry various support equipment, which can be useful for Resource Farming.

Special Mechanics

"Food Supply Ships" (APF) can passively increase the fleet's Morale.

• The morale will increase every 15 min, consuming 1 fuel per ship, and will be raised up to "Light sparkling".
• The Increase rate will depend on the APF's remodel.
• This effect stacks with the morale natural regen for ships with a morale < 49.

It requires the APF to

• Not be a "Reefer Ship" (AF) anymore,
• Be either flagship or second ship,
• Be fully supplied,
• Not be Shouha Lightly Damaged (小破) or worst,
• Have a good morale (30 or better),
• Not be in expedition or in docking.

It works with

• All ships in the fleet,
• Ships in any damage status,
• Ships in any morale status.

It does not work if

• The ship is in docking.
  • If a ship was in dock when the fleet was setupped, it will still not work once it is repaired, unless the fleet/timer is reset.

This mechanic is an early implementation and is subject to change.

• A pairing with Mamiya and Irako has been teased.

APF	Morale gain / 15 min	Morale cap
Nosaki	+2	54
Nosaki Kai	+3	54

Bug

• The mechanic is not stopped/reset if the fleet is changed using the fleet presets option.
• It is possible to set up a morale fleet, and instead of waiting, launch sorties with preset fleets. If the original morale fleet is reinstated using the presets before the 15 min check, the moral gain will happen [1].

Stats Exceptions
