Harima, Inaba, Aratama and Kaminari.

Japanese navy named there BC by name of Mountains, and Harima is a state's name, Inaba is a castle, Aratama means "Violent Spirit", and Kaninari means thunderbolt.

In WWII, IJN CAs (except Mogami and Tone class)used mountains name, beside them Ikoma, Ibuki, Tsukuba, Fuji, Kaimon etc also could be named.
