Project hula
Towards the end of the Second World War , the Hula project , one of the best-kept secrets of Soviet-American cooperation in the war against Japan, was implemented on the military base . Russian naval personnel were trained on US ships for a good four months. From May to September a total of 149 ships were handed over to the Soviet Union, including 30 landing craft (so-called LCVPs ). Around half of the LCVPs were used as part of the Russian military offensive Operation Auguststurm to conquer the Kuriles .
