I read a story much like this a couple of months ago, about an American lady finally hearing news that her father's boat was found in the Pacific. I never realised that US subs engaged Japanese targets as close to home as Alaska.

Fascinating read, thx for posting. Incidentally, here is the main site with what appears to be that sonar image on it.

Seeing Japan invaded Alaska... Yes, they very likely did.
