Akashi, as it says in the article, provides repairs to her fleet if she's the flagship and the fleet is idle. Because players use fleets #2, #3, and #4 to run expeditions (that is, they're not idle), they only have fleet #1 for Akashi to do her repairs. And since the fleet you face in PVP is fleet #1, you frequently see Akashi as flagship.

Akashi never gets strong enough to be a combatant, and her repair capability doesn't change after her kai at level 35. But, as Qu33k says, a higher-leveled Akashi provides more XP to the players shooting at her. If you've got a space in your PVP roster for Akashi to leech XP, go ahead and let her use it.
