I'd imagine all fifteen that were still in service would have taken some part (five have been lost in one way or another).
If those awful TNE novels of Paul Brunette are to be believed the class was put back into production, though without the BG generators. The main weaponry (TNE refit) had replaced the PA turrets which are too small to work in TNE with 700Mj lasers. These are not to be sneezed at with a rating of 1/21-66 at all ranges. Tied to a TL15 MFD they get a -6 Diff Mod.
For those who have not seen the stats for this ship I have them at

The vessel does appear to have sufficient capacity for a BG generator to be put back and weapons increased with power coming from the CG lifters which would not be used in space.

Traveller trivia - just in case you don't know - the Old timer from the DGP Starship operator's manual served on the Allamu and has a part in the rumours section of the Kinunir adventure..

Ok. if you insist
Allamu: Kinunir-class battle cruiser (BC-9516)
The Allamu was caught in the van at the Battle of Two Suns, 1084, and withstood over four hours of steady attack before suffering screen failure.
Lost with all hands.
On 117-1085, the Emperor Strephon personally memorialised the name Allamu, which will henceforth be assigned to dreadnought-class ships and above.
To date, no ship bearing the name has been constructed.

Apishal: Kinunir-class battle cruiser (BC-9520)
Built by Ling Standard, laid down 254-1077, first flight on 015-1080.

The Kinunir herself may have been returned to service following being found in the Shionthy system. It is never mentioned again after Adventure 1. But I cannot see any authorities allowing the vessel to remain in the hands of private individuals with a functioning BG and some very sensitive systems on board.
IMTU The AHL class vessel Cause Rampant was refitted with the same model computer and limited AI as the Kinunirs which may have contributed to the cruisers loss on its final mission.

You know that huge wharehouse in the closing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark? The Imperium (in MTU) has a whole star system like that

The Imperial border is just a couple of jumps away
I have a theory that the Kinunir ended up crashed on the surface of Algine

Yeah, I was actually the guy who wrote the letter into Traveller's Digest/MT Journal asking about that.

None that I know of I'm afraid
We do know that there are four of this class patrolling the Regina subsector; the Luru, Adamdun, and the Agidda, plus one other.
As to what the rest are doing...

I never bought the Kinunir war grave explanation. People were killed in ww2 on ships that were re-surfaced in pearl, refitted and sent back out. A War grave in space would be a navigation & security issue. If they just left it she would've been hit by pirates for booty, etc... Of course by the TNE timeline there would be plenty of hulks.

Also considering it wasn't placed in its current state as a result of war.
I think it is mentioned as such in RSB to act as a potential adventure nugget - Shionthy is still a restricted system in 1202, which strongly suggests there is something there that they want to protect.
There is also the angle of the Kinunir fiasco foreshadowing the Collapse, so it can be taken at face value in that way, if you like.
