CT Only: Solomani capital ships?

AM6 gives us a 1K dton cruiser and FASA Adventure-Class Ships Vol. 2 gives us a 6C dton patrol frigate, but are there any Book 5-designed Solomani capital ships in canon sources?
 
The T20 supplement Fighting Ships of the Solomani gives many examples from the Rim War period. I think some of these books provided CT stats alongside T20, but my copy only has T20.
 
It's about the only canonical reference, that gives an overview of the Confederation Navy.

Though, antebellum.

Mongoose introduces a couple of current Confederation Navy designs, though coherency is somewhat questionable.
 
Looking through FSoftS again I see the following note:

This supplement details the organization, operation, tactics and fighting ships of the Solomani Confederation Navy during the Solomani Rim War (990-1002). This supplement is primarily compatible with the T20 version of Traveller, but the ship design statistics can easily be converted for use with other Traveller rules. The ship statistics are also completely compatible with High Guard for Classic Traveller.

Referees playing adventures or campaigns in Imperium’s “Golden Age” (1105-1116) will be able to make use of these ship designs because some will still be in service at that time, 100 years after the Solomani Rim war.

The Solomani Navy at the start of the war appears to be primarily a battlecrusier force, and may have gradually shifted to battle riders and battleships based on the counter mix of Invasion Earth, where the best Sollie units are stranded riders left behind while their tenders fell back to Aldebaran sector with other jump-capable elements.
