Akagi (赤城) red castle

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akagi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Akagi

 

Since Akagi was initially conceived as a battlecruiser, the prevailing ship naming conventions dictated that she (like her sister ships) be named after a mountain.

 

Akagi came from Mount Akagi, a dormant volcano in the Kantō region (the name literally means "red castle").

 

After she was redesignated as an aircraft carrier, her mountain name remained, in contrast to ships like Sōryū that were originally built as aircraft carriers, which were named after flying creatures. Her name was previously given to the Maya-class gunboat Akagi.[8]
