The '''DCS ''Ashi-oto''''' was the first of the ''[[Okinawa (DropShip class)|Okinawa]]''-class fighter carrier [[DropShip]]s designed by the [[Draconis Combine]] to see combat.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In [[3055]], [[Haruka Otanashi]] briefly served aboard the ''Ashi-oto''. During this time the ship fought in raids against [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] and [[Clan Nova Cat]].<ref>''Explorer Corps'', p. 27</ref><br />
<br />
The ''Ashi-oto'' was one of the ships that participated in the 3055 raid against [[Luzerne]], which occupied by Clan Smoke Jaguar.<ref name="TRO:3057Rp40">''Technical Readout: 3057 Revised'', p. 40: "Okinawa"</ref> The ''Ashi-oto'' was heavily damaged during the raid while fighting as a part of the rearguard; however, despite the damage taken and the loss of more than fifty percent of the attached [[aerospace fighter]] group, the crew of the ''Ashi-oto'' were greeted with medals and congratulations when they returned. The damage inflicted on the CSJ [[Hunters' Pride (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|''Hunter's' Pride'']], a ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate, by the ''Ashi-oto'''s fighter group doubtless played a part in this decision, as the ''Hunters' Pride'' was forced to withdraw from the battle; Captain Hiyama of the ''Ashi-oto'' was even awarded the [[Bushido Blade]] on [[Luthien]] for his actions.<ref name="TRO:3057Rp40"/><br />
<br />
Following the battle at Luzerne and other combat actions fought by ''Okinawa''-class ships the class was redesigned slightly, adjusting the armor protection to place greater protection on the nose at the expense of the aft and sides; however, it unknown if the armor on the ''Ashi-oto'' was subsequently retrofitted to follow this pattern.<ref name="TRO:3057Rp40"/><br />
