When a ship equipped with Lira Wessex is dealt a faceup damage card, either from an attack or card ability, you may spend 1 Repair token. If you do, you may flip that card facedown without resolving the effect of that damage card.

A Repair token spent to resolve Lira Wessex does not resolve its usual effect, and instead resolves the effect given by Lira Wessex.

In regards to the timing of Garel’s Honor, Lira Wessex, and Hardened Bulkheads: The timing does not allow for Lira Wessex to turn a faceup damage card from Garel’s Honor, to a facedown damage card to then not be dealt by Hardened Bulkheads.
This is because Lira Wessex can only resolve her ability “when” a faceup damage card is dealt. A dealt damage card has passed the timing window of Hardened Bulkheads of “deal 1 less”.
