And here are the stats the Casual Observer made for the design back in the day:

Total 44 units, +13 under construction. Used solely by the marines, the Grunt class is the service's primary escort for troop convoys, which often include Deuce and Liberty ships. For a ship its size, it is well armed with four squadrons of fighters, multiple twin pulse cannons for AAA and 10 pulse/laser batteries. Even fleet officer's have commented about the Grunt's outstanding service, especially against overwhelming odds- a testament to it's all marine crew of ~315 men. As a sign that the gone are not forgotten, Grunt ships are usually named after Marines who have given the ultimate sacrifice so others may live. Notable ships are the Sacrifice, Devil Dog, Patterson, Jefferson, and McPherson.
