Think of American seaplane tenders as the AIMD onboard the Chuckie V. In that they are shops and support equipment that could basically take a seaplane or float plane from the J2F duck up to the PBM Mariner and do repairs to the engines, airframes, electronics, weapons, and aircrew gear. They should also be able to load weapons. If you want to move them forward to an unimproved dot on the map the best way to do it is send an AK loaded with supplies to the dot you want to and then move your AV or AVD there. Once there then fly in the patrol squadron. They will operate as seaborne aviation support unit and when you click on the area that they are operating from you should see the aviaton support listed as n+12 or n+18. That is they will add to the aviation support at the base and though can fix shore based units to my understanding from playing the game will only concentrate on seaplanes at that base first then shore based. The AV will draw supplies from the ones that you offloaded from your AK. You will also need to understand that if you keep the AV and VP unit at this base you will need to ship in additional supplies as needed.
How ironic. I was AIMD on the Vinson. [:D]
Reading this makes things clearer, thanks.
