Found this the FM Crusader & Warden Book thought it fit here

The Clans take great pride in their WarShips. Nowhere else is so much raw military might concentrated in a single war machine. Though the nature of WarShip combat makes it difficult for individual warriors to distinguish themselves, such fighting remains the calling of a specialized few. Each Clan has its preferred WarShip, more often a workhorse destroyer or cruiser rather than a larger but less versatile heavy cruiser or battleship.

The Quicksilver Mongoose was basically left as a hulk following her capture during the Mongoose absor trial, because the Jag's didn't want to use anything associated with a lesser and now fallen Clan they didn't bother repairing her.  She could probably be bought back into service and maybe traded away as she was a serious overhaul of the type and was far better than a standard DuShi Wang class ship.

Considering they gained 4 from the Mongoose surrenders. Which if they took those why wouldn't they take their flagship boggles my mind. The battle took place at Circe so they bothered to bring it Strana Mechty as well.

Considering it states half the Smoke Jaguar fleet was destroyed in versus Mongoose. How many ships did they lose? Your talking 10 or so warships probably. I see there's a central stockpile that the Clan Council allowed the Jaguars to pull from to help rebuild. If we have Free Lancers in charge of maintaining this stockpile. Perhaps they took the Quicksilver Mongoose as collateral and have slowly returned it into fighting shape though no one has had a need to take from cache since.

I think this is where the Newgranges probably come into play again. As they probably have a good amount in this stockpile.

Adding up the totals and removing the classes specifically made by Clans Nightlord etc..
Removing all but the 6 yorks converted from Riga's
And all the Carracks that may or may not be original Carracks

We have 230 Warships. Lets say 50 have been lost since Kerensky left on the Exodus with his 402 Warships. Clans still have a very healthy reserve to pull from.

Some interesting thoughts Vition2! Fleet modernization for the Clans is a bit of a tricky issue cause every Clan has its own agenda but Operation Restoration is trying to get them all the same page. Right now I think their goals would be linking the Homeworlds and Occupation Zones effectively as well as maintaining security in that area. Sounds like Transports and Patrol Ships (smaller warships like Destroyers and Corvettes) might be prioritized.

Still the Clans have their differences especially in the naval arena.

Blood Spirit are fleet minimalists due to resource shortages
Burrock have a nice size fleet likely aimed at raiding and are specialists in hunting bandits
Cloud Cobra could focus on a carrier force thanks to their aerospace strength
Coyote building a York class Destroyer now with Snow Ravens help
Diamond Shark is all about the money baby and their fleet is composed of transports for commerce
Fire Mandrill has the second smallest fleet which like their Clan is divided by the Kindraa
Ghost Bear is building the Leviathans and is far ahead of every other Clan in linking their worlds to the OZ
Goliath Scorpion has a large fleet of museum pieces which they might not want to alter all that much
Hell's Horses has the third smallest fleet concentrated on transports and escorts
Ice Hellion is another Clan which I'd imagine as excellent raiders
Jade Falcon relying on the Aegis and superior firepower to quickly decimate any opponent
Nova Cat possesses many smaller warships
Smoke Jaguar has a large fleet which participated in battle at Turtle Bay
Snow Raven is the naval masters and wants to maintain a 2 to 1 warship advantage
Star Adder is reputed to have a fine naval tradition but possesses only an average number of warships at this time
Steel Viper is an average size Clan fleet with ships of all different varieties
Wolf is an average size Clan fleet with ships of all different varieties

Did you come up with names yourself?? This makes it a little more difficult to confirm if you found ones that sometimes are mentioned but no names.

Some ships were indeed named by me as I compiled this list from known canon sources such as FM Updates (THE WARSHIPS OF A DEAD CLAN, page 105) which lists most of the Jaguar fleet but at times has no ship name.

I am aware of the Fredasa capture by the Cloud Cobras but that hasn't happened yet.

Clan Troops is a dubious source and I believe the Streaking Mist is the flagship in many different sources.

The Quicksilver Mongoose is one of those ships floating around in Clan space probably in mothballs or in this case as a hulk in space. Wars of Reaving has various Clans activating fleet caches and this ship too.

Does it ever say anywhere how many warships were left behind by SLDF

I saw on the Dictator writeup they chose to take more of the Overlords to take over the older design, wouldnt they do the same with Warships prioritizing ones with collars and larger size for more space? Stockpiles could contain more of the larger ships. The reason to stockpile is the huge resources in maintaining them.

Looking up old Canon ships Monsoon and Farragut both have no mentions but the images show caption them as being seen in the Exodus

Good break down, we can also expect a scatter shot of older ships as seen in the Revised 3057 TRO, as well as other prizes, or survivors like the Sarmakand class and other ships, hell there might even be a Monsoon in the stocks.

Was wondering more in my question of do we have any of numbers and types left behind in the Inner Sphere after the Exodus.

I saw 3057R last night but didn't comment last night as its easier to do it on my desktop at work.


3057R has been proven wrong by ships seen in the War of Reeving

Farragut
On December 20, 2766, the last remaining Farragut was dismantled.

Monsoon
The modifications were only performed on ten ships before the last Monsoon-class battleship was finally retired in 2668. (Vague so some could be with Clans)

Atreus
No mention at all of serving in SLDF

Luxor
The last Luxor-class heavy cruisers were destroyed during the final battle to liberate Terra.

Avatar
Although the Avatars were almost obsolete by the standards of the era, General Kerensky chose to take these vessels with the Exodus fleet, where their superb cargo and DropShip capacities would
be of considerable value; they’re currently motlballed in naval caches. (6 Survived to join Exodus and become Liberators)

Quixote
Placed in mothballs, the vessels were reactivated for duty in 2709 and modified into the Volga-class transport.

Kimagure
Vague served with the SLDF no mention of last destroyed or numbers left behind after the Coup

Riga
The final ships were mothballed in 2740. (We know some went with the Clans and most were turned into Yorks.)

Winchester
During the Reunification War, all of these aging craft were destroyed in various engagements, with the final vessels falling to the SLDF Navy in 2581 at the titanic Battle of Robsart.

Dart
The SLS Gettysburg destroyed the last known Dart in the New Vandenberg revolt in 2722.

Lola I & II
in 2660 the Star League Navy ordered the remaining vessels decommissioned and subsequently scrapped. However, at least four Lola IIs   surfaced in the hands of the Taurian rebels during the Second Periphery Uprising, leaving some doubt as to the actual disposition of these vessels.

Wagon Wheel
Only handful made doubt any would have been around

Naga
Today, only three Nagas are known to exist, having remained in mothball since the fall of the Star League. Left in orbit around Neptune, all three of these destroyers were largely overlooked during the fighting for Terra.

Davion
Prince Alexander leased all but three of the surviving Block I Davions to the SLDF during the build-up to the Reunification War, most of which were later purchased by the Star League and edesignated as Whirlwind-class after receiving weapon upgrades. Those Whirlwind vessels were then upgraded by the Clans.

Carson
Vague some could be with Clans

Baron
The SLDF decommissioned the Baron-class in 2720, selling them to member states, where they served until eliminated by attrition in the Succession Wars.

Carrack
We know the Clans took some and even built their own

Sylvester
Doubtful as the SLDF created the Carrack of the inspiration of the Lyran ship

Bonaventure
Old decommissioned in 2432 but that never stopped the SLDF before from using them during Coup

Mako
Survived in IS until 2841 so entirely possible some joined the Exodus

Pinto
The Pinto class did not survive Kerensky’s return to oust the Republican forces when heavier SLDF WarShips entered the fray. Between the campaigns in the Periphery and the liberation itself, the Pinto class was apparently destroyed along with the WarShip’s two shipyards in the shattered Rim Worlds Republic. However there are rumors that a few of these vessels, crippled and presumed destroyed during the fighting, may actually have withdrawn to uncharted worlds in the Deep Periphery where they survive to this day as derelicts.

Vigilant
None accompanied Kerensky’s exodus fleet. The few that survived the Star League’s fall were believed destroyed in the early Succession Wars.

Tracker
Despite repeated refits, the Tracker had become obsolete by the beginning of the twenty-sixth century. Several remained in service until the end of the Reunification War, acting as Q-Ships against pirates and Taurian Concordat raiders.

Nightwing
None are thought to have survived the Amaris crisis.

McKenna
29 survived to see the liberation. Eleven of those vessels were so badly damaged they had to be scuttled. The remaining vessels left with the Exodus fleet, but only three have been seen in service with the Clans.

Texas
Only seven of the 52 original vessels survived to depart with the Exodus fleet, and two of these were destroyed in the Exodus Civil War. The remaining five have been renovated and serve as command vessels for several Clans.

Potemkin
All 30 Potemkins from the Exodus fleet—except one ship lost after the formation of the Clans—remain in service with the Clans.

Cameron
40 built for SLDF only 1 known destroyed in fluff

Sovetski Soyuz
40 Survived and joined Exodus

Black Lion
less than a dozen Black Lion-class WarShips survived to accompany the Exodus fleet.

Congress
Unspecified amount joined Exodus

Volga
About two dozen Volgas left the Inner Sphere with the Exodus fleet

Aegia
70 were sent to Hegemony shipyards for refitting.but a surprising number survived the fall of the Star League and departed the Inner Sphere during the Exodus.

Lola III
A large number of Lolas survived the campaign to liberate Terra. It comprised the second largest WarShip class in the Exodus fleet.

Essex
Less than 30 Essex-class destroyers survived the campaign to liberate Terra following the Amaris coup, and these few vessels departed with the Exodus fleet in 2784.

Vincent
Unknown Number
The Vincent’s roomy design and “smart modularity” technology make the vessel particularly easy to modify and upgrade, which has undoubtedly contributed to the Vincent’s longevity.
Can you say Snow Raven OmniWarships.....

3075 TRO
Samarkand
with many serving as escorts in the Star League Defense Force.


Going to look now through War of Reaving to see if I can find specifics

RE the Dart we know that some were in service with the Amaris forces and one was destroyed securing Terra when he was attacked by a group of Elephants.

In one of the books you do see a Farragut as part of the Exodus fleet and the WoB somehow found one too so its possible that one or two went with the Exodus fleet.  The Lola II also served with the Amaris lot and whilst we don't know just how many ships the SLDF put into mothballs, we can guess its many megatonnes worth of vessels, so in reality there's nothing really stopping us going "Clan Cloud Cobra was surprised to find a mixed group of three Baron and two Carson class Destroyers in one Naval cache and after examining the ships to see what ones were in the best material condition, two Barons and one Carson joined the Cobra's naval reserve on DATE. through to DATE."
