The city-ship dwarfing the Nimitz-class by a factor of about five hundred at least (based on eyeballing the streets in the suburbs, then comparing them to the Nimitz's ~330m keel), I'd say it's pretty far along in the future...
Aside from the city-carrier, all the technology displayed has been present-day level. I should specify that my statement that this series is set in roughly present-time is secondhand information: other people who had read official sources of information said it where I could read it, and I took their word for it.

Well, there is a limit to how much tech can improve. Aside from some fairly big leaps and bounds facilitated by a select few breakthroughs, we've already hit the limit.

@ThunderBird One of the only movies to get the "future not much different from the present" was Terminator 2 (it was made in 1991 but it was set in 1995).

Probably the civilization broke down in endless warfare (girls in tanks) and 1995 is the date of the restarted calendar.
