Is a "Fleet Oiler" (AO), despite being designated in the game as a "Special Escort Carrier" (CVE / 特護空 / 特設護衛空母), and being historically one.

This is reflected in her equipability exceptions and ASW capability.

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.

Night Carriers (CVN) are carriers capable of Carrier Night Air Attacks without needing a NOAP
.

Special Mechanics

Kai

When equipping at least 1 Dive Bomber , her attack formula for day shelling follows the Carrier Shelling formula.
- This also makes her unable to attack submarines at night.

She is CVN despite not being a CV(L): when using Night Planes, she carries out Carrier Night Air Attacks and can do CVNCI.
- She cannot trigger the attack when Chuuha.
