Easy, Red Castle, Increased Joy, Green Dragon, and Flying Dragon. Akagi and Kaga were named for prefectures in Japan as they started life as a battle cruiser and battleship respectively.

I love the Japanese naming conventions for their ships, especially the destroyers, which had names such as Moon Over Mountain, Snow Cloud, Young Leaves, Spring Grass and Floral Fragrance.
