You only need to ask at one place.

ACM is a mine tender; if you have a defensive minefield, in a base (or dot base); you can disband a ACM to maintain the mines, otherwise they will slowly decay
1 ACM tends 150 mines; so if your minefield is bigger, disband more

AMc's are small mine sweepers, keep a local minesweeper TFs in important ports, so that if your opponent mine it with submarines, you will sweep it

there is a guide on tenders and auxiliaries somewhere

Quick and dirty question: are those AGs able to rearm japanese DCs?

Sometimes I think I'm very dumb: after using tenders for years, I keep forgetting these basic stuff.

I believe that DC rearm cost is their load cost, but I don't remember whether AGs do rearm them

AG � Miscellaneous Auxiliary A general purpose auxiliary with several uses [20.1.2]. Repairs Small Escort (DE, APD, DMS, DM, AVD, E, TB, KV, PF, PB, PC, SC, AM, and ML) and Small Craft (i.e., PT, PB, PC, SC, AM, ML, HDML, MGB, YP, YMS, and AMc) [14.2.3.2]. Repairs Major damage on Small Craft [14.2.3.2]. Rearms Small Escorts and Small Craft [20.1.2.2], however, cannot rearm torpedoes or Guns larger than
5in/38 [20.1.2]. Use #1 � Anchor with other support ships and tenders to enhance Small Escort and Small Craft repairs and rearming capabilities at forward and small bases. Use #2 � Anchor at forward bases to repair and rearm Small Escorts and Small Craft. Use #3 � Anchor at a repair base to provide Repair Ship service for one damaged Small Craft or assist Small Craft Pierside repairs and speed up the repair of damage to Small Craft caused by Upgrades and Conversions. Low priority uses: cargo and troop transport.

So yes, they rearm, but only small craft.
