Tenders and depot ships are the warships people overlook

What kind of warship receives too little historical attention?

Submarine depot ships and destroyer tenders, with HMS Bonaventure's support for X-craft in the Far East as a specific example.

Submarine depot ships and destroyer tenders are suggested as vessels that deserve more attention. HMS Bonaventure provides a specific example because she took X-craft to the Far East and served as their depot ship. A proposed game mechanic would let submarines and destroyers return to a tender for complete repairs before resuming combat. Each side would have one, making the supporting vessel a target worth sinking or driving away. Complete restoration during a match is a game proposal, while Bonaventure's X-craft support is the historical example.
