Of course it wasn't. They just attacked Alaska for fun. Not because they needed staging areas, sub bases, docks, landing strips etc to launch attacks from. You must be right. They just randomly decided to send aircraft carriers and a dozen destroyers, subs etc to heavily defended regions... probably just out of boredom. After all, why else do you make massive military asset commitments in the middle of a war? For strategic purposes as part of a military campaign? Thats just silly.
BTW... keep up your research as you try to argue, i grew up in Alaska and have been to Attu and Kiska and Adak a few times and am well versed in the history and grew up playing in the ruins.
