	159	Unit-02 jumps onto each ship, going from one right to another. SE <<THUD! VOOOSH! THUDDD>>	UrsusArctos: The ships in this cut actually have hull numbers! The first vessel in the background to have its bow armament crushed has 47 on its hull, identifying it as the USS Ticonderoga, the lead ship of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers and the first ship to mount the Aegis combat system. Ticonderoga and four others were retired in 2004 due to their old missile systems but all the other ships in the class are still around. The ship that we get a close-up of when Eva-02 crushes its turret has 61 on the bow, identifying it as the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Ramage. The Ramage, which is still in service in 2020, was commissioned in 1994 and would've been one of the newest ships around at the time NGE was in production.
