		With that force, Hosogaya was first to launch an air attack against Dutch Harbor, then follow with an amphibious attack upon the island of Adak, 480 miles to the west.
		After destroying the American base on Adak (in fact, there was none), his troops were to return to their ships and become a reserve for two additional landings: the first on Kiska, 240 miles west of Adak, the other on the Aleutian's westernmost island, Attu, 180 miles from Kiska.
		Not until early July— when U.S. intelligence reported with some certainty the departure of Hosogaya's fleet from the Bering Sea—did the threat of invasion of the Alaskan mainland decline, allowing for the redeployment of many of the troops hastily assembled at Nome.

		With Hosogaya correctly fearing an American air intervention from Alaska, the Japanese broke off the attack, and retired to rejoin the two transports who had been detached at the beginning of the fight.
		Hosogaya, was retired from naval service shortly thereafter as a result of his rather under-aggressive performance.

	Clash off the Komandorskis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The report that the Japanese were running another convoy to Attu had been correct; regrettably, it did not note that Hosogaya, a cautious admiral, had chosen to escort the convoy's three transports with every surface combatant at his disposal.
		It was natural for US observers to attribute the Japanese withdrawal to the destroyers' gallant attack, but in fact, Hosogaya gave the order to retire just before it began.
		Simply to have survived the morning was no mean feat, but it also had frustrated the enemy re-supply operation, for Hosogaya's transports headed for home along with their escorts.

		Hosogaya was also convinced that American bombers would arrive on the scene at any minute---fears reinforced by the shells from Salt Lake City that the Japanese had mistaken for bombs.

		Given these assumptions, Yamamoto provided the Northern Area Fleet, commanded by Vice Adm. Boshiro Hosogaya, with a force of 2 small aircraft carriers, 5 cruisers, 12 destroyers, 6 submarines, and 4 troop transports, along with supporting auxiliary ships.
		Because U.S. intelligence had broken the Japanese naval code, Admiral Nimitz had learned by 21 May of Yamamoto's plans, including the Aleutian diversion, the strength of both Yamamoto's and Hosogaya's fleets, and that Hosogaya would open the fight on 1 June or shortly thereafter.
		Theobald's task force of 5 cruisers, 14 destroyers, and 6 submarines quietly left Pearl Harbor on 25 May to take a position in the Alaskan Sea 400 miles off Kodiak Island, there to wait for the arrival of Hosogaya's fleet.

		On the way back to base, however, Vice Adm. Boshiro Hosogaya, commander of the Northern Area Force, ordered Rear Adm. Sentaro Omori to occupy Agattu, Kiska and Attu islands.
		As it was American soil, the enemy presence in the western Aleutians was a source of embarrassment and discomfort to the U.S. government.
