Holding Alaska

Holding Alaska is the fifth campaign mission in Call of Duty: The War in the Pacific.

Gameplay
The mission starts off with the player in command of a lone Cleveland Class Cruiser, which is stuck in the thick ice. Two Japanese Destroyers will immediatly attack, luckily however they cannot launch torpedoes due to the ice, so they are easier than usual to defeat. Once the two are sinking friendly F4U Corsairs will arrive and fire rockets at the ice, breaking it up enough for the ship to move.

The ship must head to the north and meet up with the other US Forces, consisting of two Fletcher Class Destroyers and one Northampton Class Cruiser. Once the ships meet up it will begin to snow heavily, limiting visibility.

Soon after a Japanese battle group will arrive, consisting of four Fubuki Class Destroyers and one Takao Class Cruiser. The ships must be defeated in order to sail past the ice to the north, where several Japanese Transports are waiting to launch a ground invasion of Alaska. There are four Transports, and one Fubuki Class escorting them, sink the Destroyer and the transports will be helpless, once they are destroyed the level ends.
