Uncrewed vessels still need at-sea repair teams

A breakdown at sea would require people from a crewed ship to reach the uncrewed vessel and attempt repairs.

Question

How will an uncrewed vessel be repaired when it breaks down at sea?

Short answer

Send people by helicopter from a crewed ship and hope they can reach the vessel and repair it.

Notes

Repair personnel would travel by helicopter from a crewed ship. Reaching the casualty and successfully fixing it are explicitly uncertain. The vessel's lack of a normal onboard crew therefore transfers the repair task to people carried elsewhere in the force.
