Repair ships are specialized vessels designed to provide maintenance and repair services to other ships at sea. They are equipped with tools, spare parts, and facilities to handle various mechanical and electrical issues, ensuring that vessels can continue their operations without returning to port. These ships play a crucial role in naval operations and commercial shipping, often serving as floating workshops. They can perform tasks such as welding, engine repairs, and equipment replacements, helping to minimize downtime and maintain the efficiency of fleets, including those of naval forces and merchant shipping companies.
