1. 8-9000 miles, a heck of lot further than from Japan to Hawaii. That's good stretch for a country that had issues trying to maintain a fleet off the coast of India for any length of time.
Unless Slava was trying to say what they would try to do is make an appearance, lob some car-sized explosive projectiles at the Pacific-side locks etc and then move on after laying waste to them. Of course, to do this they would have to face some serious heavy artillery like the 16in guns of Battery Haan, Battery Newton and others, 14in railway guns of Battery 8, a whole passel of 155s all over the place, plus a huge number of smaller diameter arty pieces. It would have been a tough mission for them.
2. Heck, they breed like cockroaches and are about as welcome.
