This class of Escort Destroyer isn't based on anything, but designed for use with my Traveller Universe. It was a start towards detailing the Lunion Sub-sector navy at one point in time. The 20 dtons of unspecified small craft could be 2x 10dton fighters, maybe life boats, or what have you. The crew size is larger than it needs to be for the classic traveller universe, but I tend to go for redundancy for 24/7 operations etc. That I don't have any marines for this ship is an oversight on my part, but - as an early craft, might prove useful for someone in their own campaign.
