Just a quicky, it's Hyakumangoku (place name), not hyaku man koku (one million koku). Hyakumangoku is the modern name of what was previously Kaga province, which being a battleship-cum-carrier she is name after. Same with Fusou, Yamashiro, Ise, Hyuuga, Nagato, Mutsu, Yamato, Musashi and finally Shinano but NOT the Kongou class or Akagi as they were originally battlecruisers and as such were named after mountains in the same manner as heavy cruisers.
