Hello,

You can convert any AK of at least 7000Tons, mooring at osaka to
AR, repair ship
MLE, mine layer tender,
AV, floatplane tender,
and perhaps a non interresting one i have forgot.

The ship will then return in the pool for a few month till it has been converted.

Dunno if Japanese could do this, but Allies can convert PGs into PT boat tenders (AGPs?). Since Japan has only a few PT-class boats, might not be a great move.

Yep, they can convert to AE. They can not convert to PT boat tenders, Destroyer tenders.

I said "can", not that you "must".
