Don't forget the battle of the Komandorski Islands - it would have been a major Japanese victory but for the usual level of cowarace shown by the Imperial Japanese Navy - almost always ready to flee when victory was in their grasp.

My dad was on Attu in August or September 1945 to relieve troops that were there at the end of WW2.
