Black Swan-class Sloop
The Black Swan-class and the subsequent Modified Black Swan-class sloops were highly effective convoy-defence vessels in service with the Royal Navy during World War Two. They had excellent anti-air armament, while also retaining impressive anti-submarine capabilities, thanks to the high angle 4-inch dual-purpose guns and an array of depth charges. During the war, they accounted for 29 sunk U-Boats, with HMS Starling as the most successful, contributing 11 to the total.
Another famous ship was HMS Amethyst, which was trapped on the Yangtze River for three months during the Chinese Civil War in the summer of 1949. After coming under fire from a PLA battery, she sustained severe damage and was grounded. Assistance from HMS Consort, Black Swan, and London was unsuccessful, and Amethyst was left under guard by the PLA for ten weeks. She finally escaped during a daring nightly dash for freedom, suffering no further casualties.
Not going for a specific ship in the class, this one has an amalgamation of features found on several ships of the class.
Credit to Matt for the hull technique, Awe and John for the AA guns, and Ian for the depth charge projectors and inspiration for the gun shields. That should cover all the things I stole.
