	Battle of Komandorski Island: 27 March 1943 by Vincent P. O'Hara
		The Japanese invaded Kiska Island in the Aleutians chain in June, 1942 in a sideshow to the Midway campaign, Subsequently they took Attu Island 200 miles east, at the end of the chain.
		For their part, the Japanese considered evacuating the two islands during the winter of 1942-43, but reinforced them instead to guard against an American attempt to leapfrog over to the Kurile Islands, not as a prelude to an advance up the chain toward the Alaska mainland.
		When dawn broke on the morning of March 26, the American task force was east of the International Date Line, (so it was actually March 27) 180 miles west of Attu and a hundred miles south of the Russian Komandorski Islands, sweeping north by east, strung out in a scouting line six miles long.
