I had some conversations with a few friends about this and the general idea boiled down to a "Resupply Mission" support expedition that activates upon reaching the boss node (A pre-arranged rendezvous) and the effects change based on who the flagship is--

Akashi -- Repairs a few HP on each ship in the fleet. Cannot change status (IE, no move from Orange to Yellow or Red to Orange). Consumes steel and additional fuel when the expedition fleet is resupplied post-sortie.

Akitsumaru -- Restores all carrier aircraft by a certain amount. Consumes additional bauxite in post-expedition resupply.

Hayasui -- Restores a few bars of Fuel and Ammo, up to 50%. Consumes additional fuel and ammo at post-sortie resupply.

This could also allow the devs to add more support ships that further change how this expedition functions. How about Mamiya, restoring some morale right before the boss? Or Katori, giving an EXP bonus if you clear the boss with an A or S rank?

I doubt they'd ever do this, but it would be an interesting mechanic.
