During the Golden Century, the Jaguar fleet was known to be formed around a core of battleships, however, this appears to have changed after the Battle of Circe in 2868 against Clan Mongoose, the largest fleet battle in Clan history with over thirty WarShips taking part. Clan Smoke Jaguar carried the day with the loss of half their fleet, including their flagship the Obsidian; although they did capture at least four Mongoose WarShips. In the wake of the Mongoose Absorption captured landholdings were traded for mothballed ships to replace the combat losses.[1]

Initial reports by the Second Star League claimed they had destroyed six and captured five vessels during Operation BULLDOG and Task Force Serpent.[2] Later accounts by the Draconis Combine place the number at nine captured, although five were later scuttled.[3]
