In its day, the Rapier II had a reputation as one of the best all-purpose dogfighters in the Fleet. One of the most cost efficient and effective fighter during the mid 2650s to the late 2660s, almost all carriers in the fleet had at least a squadron or two of Rapiers onboard. The Hellcat V has since replaced the Rapier II, and all remaining fighters have been placed into the active reserve or In System Security.
