Spaceships in Stargate Atlantis
DAEDALUS
Class: Daedalus battlecruiser (deep space carrier)
Weapon systems: rail guns, F-302 fighters, tactical warheads (Mark-8, Mark-9)
Other systems: The Daedalus class is equipped with a great deal of Asgard technology, notably its intergalactic hyperdrive, shields and beaming technology.
Other spaceships from this class: Oddyssey, Korolev, Apollo
Combat use: the Daedalus is usually pitted against Wraith Hive-Ships, which severely outclass the smaller ship in size, fire-power and the capability of carrying fighter craft. The overall size of the vessels make them difficult to destroy with anything less than nuclear weapons, which are carried in only limited numbers and are easily destroyed prior to detonation against a Hive-Ships hull, generally by suicidal Wraith darts who ram the missiles and destroy them prior to impact.
Dadalus history: The Daedalus is the first starship to be produced of the Daedalus class of battlecruisers, and carries an Asgard engineer (Hermiod) to oversee the ship's Asgard technology. The USAF operated Daedalus first appears in the Stargate Atlantis episode "The Siege, Part 3", commanded by Colonel Steven Caldwell. The Daedalus plays an instrumental role in defending Atlantis, and subsequently serves as an intergalactic ferry between Earth and Atlantis.

Oddyssey - The second USAF spacecraft of the Daedalus class battlecruiser.
Apollo - commanded by Colonel Abe Ellis attacked homeworld of Asurans with weapon platform Horizon (Mark IX "Gatebuster" warheads and 4 decoy warheads).

F-302
F-302 is second class of fighters ( previous versions were X-301, X-302 ) developed for space / planets fights. F-302 was built entirely from Earth-constructed components, using reverse-engineered knowledge of alien technology. F-302 cannot sustain a hyperspace conduit for any extended period of time, due to the instability of naquadria, used to power the hyperspace engine.

AURORA
Aurora is an Ancient warship sent to special mission in the time of war against Wraiths. SGA team discovered Aurora with still living crew in stasis pods. Aurora systems was infiltrated by Wraith. Sheppard revealing who the Wraith is and Aurora is destroyed, taking a Wraith cruisers with her.
PUDDLE JUMPER
 The Puddle Jumper is a small ship with an angled front and
rear, allowing it to slide perfectly through open Stargate. Puddle Jumpers are equipped with several Ancient technologies. The Puddle Jumper can also be used as an underwater submersible (episode Echoes). The Jumpers can be used as bombers (The Game).
Passengers are shielded from sudden accelerations and stops by an inertial dampening system. As off-world teams are likely to come under fire, there is a healthy
supply of weapons, ammunition and tactical vests on board, including P90's, M4 Carbines, M249 SAWs. A Puddle Jumper has no true shields at all, suggesting that it is an
exploration and trading ship. Its only defense consists of an advanced cloaking generator capable of masking the ship to both the naked eye and sensors.
WRAITH HIVE SHIP
 The hive ship is a large ship, home to an untold number of Wraith who hibernate for centuries. Hive ships are are the second largest known ships in the Stargate universe.
A Wraith hive ship has a large number of weapon ports stationed across the exterior of the ship. These ports rapidly fire blue energy pulses which are powerful enough to destroy another Hive-Ship after several hits, working in concert with each other, Hive-Ships are able to bring down the Asgard designed shields of the Daedalus in less than a minute. The ship does not appear to have any point defence weapons to fight off smaller ships such as F-302s. However the Wraith Dart has been shown to defend the hive ship from incoming fire.
Episodes with Wraith hive ships: Brotherhood, The Hive, The Siege part 1, The Siege part 2, Underground, Thirty eight minuts, Rising part 2.
WRAITH DART
 Wraith dart is small and quick ship. The primary mission role of a Dart is the culling of humans for the Hive ships. Wraith dart is armed by Pulsed energy weapons and human colecting system conected to Wraith computer (McKay has been catched by this system in episode Duet, mind of security officer Cadman was trapped in the mind of Dr. McKay after release from Wraith computer).
Wraith dart is able to destroy Puddle Jumper. Its used for fights against other Wraith hive ships.
WRAITH CRUISER 
Wraith cruiser is a smaller ship than Wraith hive ship is. The main duty of Wraith cruiser is to escort and protect the Wraith hive ships. Wraith cruiser has no Wraith dart bays.
WRAITH STORAGE SHIP
Wraith storage (transport) ship is similar to Wraith hive ship. It also contains cells with human food. The main duty is to deliver a fresh food for mother ship.
WRAITH EXPLORER
 Wraith explorer is a small unarmend and unshielded ship. Wraith explorer collecting info about moves of enemies.
