Sometimes Pierside can be the fastest repair type. This is due to the nature of the damage and the time it takes to stand down the ship and bring it back to readiness. The time required to return a ship to service is built into the repair estimate.

You may spend only 15 days pierside, but you won't repair your Flt major damage, just the Sys. You'll spend more time in the shipyard because it shall take care of the 4 major Flt damage points too (although I guess there should be a # to show the pierside won't do everything, maybe it's a little bug).

This may be due to a lot of naval support at the base. Naval support does assist in repairs for pierside, but does not for shipyard (the shipyard is a self contained entity).

Also, increaseing priority for a ship in an underutilized shipyard may have little or no effect as the shipyard will already be dedicating unused resources to ships under repair in the yard. It will, in effect, automatically raise the priority of a ship if no other ship is competing for the shipyard resources.

I don't think it is a bug. I think what is indicated here is that pierside repairs in San Diego can repair some amount of major damage. Perhaps there are some ARs present. Note that the pierside takes longer than readiness. This indicates to me that readiness repair will not deal with the major damage, but pierside will.

actually i know for a fact that you are wrong on this. i did same last game with kaga in yokohama and she repaired the major damage just fine.
