Two ships of the Tau'ri fleet.

"How many ships do we have available?"
―Rodney McKay

The Tau'ri Fleet includes all Earth-built space vessels, acquired friendlies, and ships from their enemies.

After five or more years of researching alien technologies discovered on off-world missions, along with billions of dollars of work, several prototype models, and several failures, the Tau'ri were eventually able to construct its first glider vessel based on alien technology. That was the X-301, a Tau'ri/Goa'uld hybrid. The craft ultimately failed, because of its alien components. After the failed flight tests, the United States Air Force decided to build an entirely human-built craft, with components based upon what they learned from alien tech, rather than actually integrating alien technology into it. This was the F-302, a small 2-man space-faring ship much like a highly advanced MiG or F-22 Raptor. F-302s are now the standard dog-fighting attacker used by the military in the Stargate program.

It was not long before Earth too was able to create its first (and for a long time, only) interstellar battlecruiser, the Prometheus. Whilst the F-302 is generally sufficient to successfully challenge its alien equivalent, the Prometheus was still inferior to the highest class of battlecruiser owned by most other prominent races in the galaxy. Later, with the assistance of the Asgard, the Tau'ri were able to construct a far more advanced class of ship, the Daedalus-class Deep Space Carrier, capable of rivaling even the most powerful alien spaceships.
