I know there is a Mt Haruna because of the battleship named for it. It’s the one American news accounts sank three or four times.

Funny you should mention that. I have an odd fascination with the oft-"sunk" Haruna, which is why I looked into the name itself and learned that the ship was named after the mountain, and that the name has since become a popular female name in Japan. It's the name that's what caught my notice about the ISIS hostage.
