thewayneiac: In addition to the Wizard of Oz reference, Naming the ship "Over the Rainbow" is probably a tribute to Episode 133 of Urusei Yatsura, wherein "Operation Over the Rainbow" is launched from a secret underground base belonging to a character named Asuka Mizunokouji. The association of the Name "Asuka" with the phrase "Over the Rainbow" is not likely to be a coincidence.
