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 USAF 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.

Main ships

File:X301.jpg N/A X-301 Attack Fighter Out of Service 2000 USAF
The X-301 Interceptor was the Tau'ri's first attempt at developing a space-based combat vessel capable of engaging the Goa'uld.
File:X-302.jpg N/A X-302 Attack Fighter Experimental 2002 USAF
The X-302 hyperspace fighter was Earth's second try at constructing a combat-capable spacecraft (now successfully), developed using recovered alien technology at Area 51.
File:F-302.JPG N/A F-302 Attack Fighter Active 2003 USAF/RFAF
The F-302 is the production model of the X-302, an air and space superiority vehicle operated by the United States Air Force and Russian Federation
File:PrometheusSPace11.jpg Prometheus X-303/BC-303 Battlecruiser Destroyed 2003 USAF
Earth's first attempt at constructing a vessel capable of engaging a Goa'uld Ha'tak. Eventually destroyed by an Ori satellite over Tegalus. Carried eight F-302s.
File:DaedyInSpace11.jpg Daedalus 304 Deep Space Carrier / Battlecruiser Active 2005 USAF
The first of its class, assigned to the Fast Attack Wing in the Pegasus Galaxy until 2009.
File:Odyssey.JPG Odyssey 304 Deep Space Carrier / Battlecruiser Active 2006 USAF
It's Earth's flagship and became the backbone of Earth's defense after the destruction of the Prometheus. Now being powered by a ZPM and has many Asgard upgrades.
Korolev Korolev 304 Deep Space Carrier / Battlecruiser Destroyed 2006 RFAF
Given to Russia by the USA in exchange for continued use of their Stargate. The ship was commanded by Chekov, and was destroyed in the Battle of P3Y-229.
File:ApolloOverEarth.jpg Apollo 304 Deep Space Carrier / Battlecruiser Active 2007 USAF
The fourth Daedalus-class ship constructed, assigned to the Second Tactical Wing in the PegasusGalaxy until 2009.

The fifth Daedalus-class ship constructed, participated in the battle against the ZPM powered Hive.
File:GeorgeHammondOverEarth.jpg George Hammond 304 Deep Space Carrier / Battlecruiser Active 2009 USAF
Introduced in an alternate timeline as the Phoenix where it was assigned to Atlantis. It was later introduced and renamed in the current timeline in honour of GeneralGeorge S. Hammond and participated in the defense of Icarus Base.

Major actions

File:Battle of Antarctica.JPG

The Tau'ri fleet engages Anubis' fleet over Antarctica

File:Odyssey beam weapons.jpg

The Tau'ri uses its new Asgard beam weapons to destroy an Ori mothership in the Battle of the Asgard Legacy

The Daedalus and Apollo fire their newly acquired Asgard beam weapons.

Other known ships

Shuttle

The Tau'ri Space shuttle, Endeavour.

Orion Planet

The Orion, once commanded by the Tau'ri

The following is a list of other spaceships constructed by the Tau'ri.

In addition, the Tau'ri acquired several vessels of alien origin that at times supplemented their forces, including ships of these types:

Ancient origin

Ori origin

Goa'uld origin

Wraith origin

Others

The following is a list of specific alien spaceships commanded by the Tau'ri.

  • An Incomplete ship designed and constructed on Earth by a town infested by Goa'uld. It's currently being kept on Area 51. (SG1: "Nightwalkers")
  • Cronus' Ha'tak was captured and, for a time, commanded by the Tau'ri.
  • The Atlantis' Hive Ship was a hive ship stolen from the Wraith by the Atlantis Expedition. They have commandeered several Hive Ships in their time in the Pegasus galaxy.
  • The Atlantis Expedition operated the Aurora-class warship Orion for a time before it was destroyed, though this vessel technically belonged to the Taranians.
  • They have also taken control of the Lantean City-ship Atlantis.
  • SG-1 briefly commandeered an Ori mothership in order to send the Sangraal to the Ori home galaxy, but Ori forces were never expelled from the ship and no effort was made to keep permanent control of it.
  • The Icarus Base personnel have also taken control of the Ancient ship Destiny after they were force to evacuate their base to the ship via the Stargate.
  • The Destiny Expedition had also captured and control one of the Blueberry alien fighter during the Blueberry alien attack on Destiny. It was later jettisoned to prevent the aliens from tracking Destiny.
