Also, The Lexingtons have a shared background to Akagi and Kaga

All four (Lex, Sara, Kaga, Akagi) were originally battleships/battlecruisers with 16-inch guns that were spared from the Washinton Naval Treaty by conversion to CVs. Hence why the Lexingtons were the largest American CVs until the Midways came around. And the Midway-class was built on a derivative of the hull design meant for the Montana-class BBs.
