Could the 1942 carrier raids have reached the Kurils?

Did the United States consider carrier raids on the Japanese-held Kuril Islands in 1942?

A raid seems plausible if an opportunity had arisen, but Coral Sea and Midway interrupted the raiding sequence; no specific Kuril plan is identified.

The opening American raiding campaign included Wake, Marcus, the Gilberts, the Marshalls, and an approach toward Rabaul. A Kuril raid is considered plausible if the carriers could have fitted it into that sequence. Coral Sea and Midway then interrupted the opportunity to continue discretionary raids. This is a judgment about a possible next target, without a specific approved Kuril operation being identified.
