A second  SCAMP ? SCAMP is an EQUIPMENT, while this announcement says ITEM. Two possibilities:

1. Just like replentishments, carried on carriers, restores or boosts proficiency when consumed.

2. Just like deck catapults, another item consumed for certain carrier K2s. The first is more plausible possibility.

The second is a bit in doubtful with more Catapults as in discussing for now. I agree.

If the skilled aircraft crew is to be used on K2, it has to be the upcoming Zuikaku for "turkey references". But here's the problem: the "turkey shoot" took place in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, so if someone's gonna use skilled crew on K2, it's gonna be BOTHkaku, but as we all know, Shoukaku don't need one.

From what we know:

1. It's a consumable

2. You don't use them everyday, and you don't get them everyday as well.

I think it's gonna be something like Mamiya for aircrafts. Squadron got wiped out? No problem, we have a group of spare skilled pilots. The only problems are that it kinda contradicts with the 4koma's background settings.

However, given the fact that proficiencies are lost only after returning to base, I think we don't really need to load them to carriers like we do for Damage Control Crew, we can use them on the resupply screen, just like the Mamiya/Irako button.
