大日本帝国海軍 工作艦樅 JapaneseNavy Momi RepairShip(第一次改修時)【芭蕉重工】

This is a fictional warship created for fun. It is equipped with a steam piston engine and can reach an impressive speed of 14 knots (). There is a crane at the rear (I'm not saying it's actually usable). *Currently under construction. ┃Setting (Overwhelmingly Victorious Warship) Originally a destroyer commissioned in 1919, it collided with a fishing boat while patrolling the Japanese coast in 1937, severely damaging its engine room. The severely damaged Matsu was originally slated for scrapping, but for some reason, its engines were replaced with steam piston engines, its torpedo tubes and rear main guns were removed, and it was converted into a repair ship equipped with a seaplane float storage area and a crane. It then belonged to the Kure Naval District for a while, performing maintenance on naval vessels and transporting ammunition, but the situation changed dramatically with the start of the Pacific War. As the war expanded and more ships were damaged, coal bunkers were added and the ship moved to Truk Island. It spent some time performing maintenance again, but when a rescue mission was launched for the damaged destroyer Isokaze, an air raid occurred on Truk. The Matsu was on its way to the rescue and avoided the air raid. In 1943, a second overhaul was conducted, including the addition of anti-aircraft armament. During the Battle of Leyte Gulf, it assisted in the repair and escort of the destroyer Kōyō. After that, it played an active role in rescuing Myōkō, which had been hit by a torpedo along with Asahi. Although it participated in Operation North, it was unable to keep up with the fleet due to its low maximum speed of 14 knots and had to withdraw. It returned to the mainland on its own. At that time, Rear Admiral Furumura Keizō reportedly said, “That ship is truly unsinkable.” After returning, it continued to perform repairs for the Second Fleet until the end of the war. Notably, the U.S. and British militaries were unaware of the ship's activities in the Pacific War until after the war's end. After the war, it was transferred to China as a reparations vessel. In China, it served as the patrol ship “Guangbing” until 1997. I'm not entirely sure what I'm writing here.
