You could check out 'Williwaw' by Gore Vidal. I've got the Kindle version, and it's not a bad story - considering it was Vidal's first novel. Though a fictional story it is based on his time in WW2, so the descriptions and locations may well be acurate.
Here's the blurb from Amizon:
'Williwaw first published in 1946, is the notable first novel of a young Gore Vidal, who during World War II was a first mate of a supply ship stationed in the Aleutian Islands. The story revolves around the small ship and her crew as they battle both the elements in the Bering Sea and the mounting tensions between some of the crew members. An intense wind—williwaw—strikes the ship, damaging the craft as she struggles to make her way back to port.'
