Over the Rainbox is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, "pride of the United Nations Forces". It served as the command ship for the massive naval convoy formed from the UN Pacific Fleet which escorted Evangelion Unit-02 as it was being transported from Germany to Japan in Episode 8. According to Kensuke, it was built before Second Impact in 2000.

Notes

  • The computer display of the UN Pacific Fleet designates the aircraft carrier as "CVN 075 Over the Rainbow". "CVN-75" is the real world designation of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, and thus it would appear that in the timeline of Neon Genesis Evangelion, when the militaries of the world's nations were placed under the unified command of the United Nations after Second Impact, USS Harry S. Truman was incorporated into the United Nation's fleet as their flagship and renamed "Over the Rainbow". Harry S. Truman was actually the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier under construction from November 1993 through September 1996, while Neon Genesis Evangelion was being produced.
