David, this has to be an interesting story, and it's one I have not heard.
How did it come to be, that an item of obvious value was just abandoned?
Was the place destroyed by fire, accident or purposefully?
Who found the bug and what condition is it?
Tnx -Hue 
By the way, the Naval Institute article I cited, "Return to Kiska", says
underground installations now all collapsed.  A few beached and ruined
Japanese ships still there. These look like they would be an "adventure"
to climb up on. ( = fun + actual danger ). Probably nothing left onboard
anyway, altho no one visits here anymore.
