In trying to remember what I knew 13+ years ago I went through some old printed documentation and the game manual and re-worded it so I could remember it. This is just for ship repairs but I am also working on a ship re-arm document that when ready will post.

Does this make sense or is there something I'm missing? I should also say this is mostly Allied-centric. Thanks

-- UPFRONT QUESTIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In both the "Tenders and Support/Auxiliary Ship Guide" (at least the one I
have from 13 years ago) and the game manual in section 14.2.3.2 they have
the following ship types listed under BOTH Small Craft and Small Escorts
o AM
o ML
o PC
o SC

Since it sort of matters what category they are (i.e, an AD can repair
only minor damage on Small Escorts but all damage on Small Craft) which
are they really?

I have those. I used the Tender and Support/Auxiliary Ship Guide a lot in this and I'm actually re-reading the Ship Repair 101 while ignoring my meowing cat.

I just have learned if I read something I might forget it in an hour but if I write something down like above I tend to remember it.

There's also section 4.2 of the manual.

*bump*

Just found out I need to check something in Ship Repair 101.

Don't forget to "bump" it....GP

Bit annoying problem, BC Repulse doesn't repair front 15" turret in Cape Town...

Apparently, while shipyard is 80 000 t, port also needs to get bigger. I think that's the issue.
