Good morning, SAM. I read a book once about the Aleution battles, and it seems that because of the heavy fog, very often our ships had no idea how close or far they were to Japanese ships. It does sound like those troops dealt with impossible conditions. Real heroes, every one of them.

Morning WaterDragon.

Everything I've read about the Aleutian Campaign talks about the miserable conditions there. I can't even imagine what it was like to be on a ship in weather and temperatures like that.
