Vessel maintenance craft
A repair ship is a naval vessel equipped to maintain and fix other ships at sea or in remote locations.
These vessels carry machine shops, spare parts, and skilled technicians, functioning as mobile shipyards that can perform repairs that would otherwise require returning to port: The damaged destroyer limped toward the repair ship anchored in the harbor.
