EDIT:good thing i did mess up and put the other "kaku" name from suikoden

BTW what is about crane that everybody talking about is kaku=crane? Yes, 鶴 (Kaku in Onnyomi, Tsuru in Kunnyomi) means crane (as in birds, not that crane you used to lift cargoes)

One little trivia:

When the USN heard about Shoukaku, they read it in the wrong way (Onnyomi->Kunnyomi) and it becomes "Kakeduru", and by some communication mistake, that becomes "Kadekuru". Since this can't fit into any kind of naming rule of IJN ships, the USN thought that maybe they are building a pocket battleship.

"Kadekuru" can be seen in the 30th page (PDF file-wise) or the 25th page (paper-wise) of this document.
