== ''Possibly'' Recovered? ==
I'm going to go out on a limb here and provocate that we haven't seen the last of this Raptor, nor its fate-sibling (Raptor 314). While the battle was chaotic and the ''Pegasus'' in dire straits, there isn't proof ''against'' a recovering "tug" of the two Raptors back into ''Pegasus'' while the rest of the fight was underway. Judging by the scene prior to the arrival of Cylon basestars, the distance from ''Pegasus'' to the two adrift Raptors wasn't that great, and it cannot be completely assumed that the two Raptors were abandoned. NATO military forces have this habit of going back into, or enduring, dire battle situations to recovered deceased members quite often. While we can speculate that the Raptor was lost, on account of the tremendous attack by the Cylons, we can equally speculate that it was actually recovered ''in spite of'' such an attack. -- [[User:Hawke|Hawke]] 02:37, 21 February 2006 (EST)

-With three basestars bearing down on them, nukes hitting the ship, racing to get out, I find it incredibly improbable.  We should presume that they were destroyed.--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 02:59, 21 February 2006 (EST)
-== One unlucky Raptor number ==
-Given what has happened to both Raptor 718s, this doesn't appear to be a very lucky number for them. And "Shark" seems to be a bad callsign for Raptor crew. (Lyla "Shark" Ellway, ECO on the Pegasus 718 & J. "Shark" Finnegan, pilot of the Galactica 718) I'm going out on a bit of a limb, but it's possible the writers did this on purpose.
