Parece que quase [1] todos os navios capitais foram destruídos na luta acima de Scarif, exceto Profundidade (um ou dois saltaram para o hiperespaço no filme). Do capítulo 22 da novelização oficial de Freed:
The Profundity trembled under the onslaught of TIE fighters. Its shields burst, re-formed, and burst again as emerald volleys struck. Three decks had already been forced to evacuate due to radiation leakage. But the Profundity endured where other vessels had been torn apart; in geostationary orbit above the Scarif Citadel, it was the center of a storm of molten metal and rent ships.
E a Profundidade foi desativada pelo Devastator do Vader
“The rebel flagship is disabled, my lord,” the Devastator’s captain reported crisply at Vader’s side. Darth Vader did not turn to him as he spoke. “But it has received transmissions from the surface.”
[1] - O filme mostra que um ou dois navios menores - incluindo um Corvette Corelliano que tecnicamente é um navio de capital - escaparam. Mas ....
No entanto, não importa se algum navio capital escapou de Scarif - eles não teriam sido usados na batalha de Yavin de qualquer maneira.
De um roteiro da Nova Esperança, os rebeldes entenderam claramente que as naves capitais eram totalmente inúteis contra a Estrela da Morte:
DODONNA
The battle station is heavily shielded
and carries a firepower greater than
half the star fleet. It's defenses
are designed around a direct large-
scale assault. A small one-man fighter
should be able to penetrate the outer
defense.
“This is Admiral Raddus. Red and Gold Squadrons, engage those two Star Destroyers. Blue Squadron, get to the surface before they close that gate!”
“What about Profundity, Admiral?” the tactical officer called. “We cover Blue Squadron,” Raddus said, and jutted a finger at the viewport. “We target the shield gate.”
General Merrick, too, might have disagreed, but he had led Blue Squadron through the gate to Scarif, and now starfighter command fell to Raddus as well.
