Re: she's an auxilliary ship (sub tender HMS Bonaventure).

I see you like auxiliary ships...
How about this. Former Yugoslavian sea plane tender Zmaj renamed by Germans to Drache and converted to helicopter carrier.
Mostly used as a mine layer and fast troop transport.

Transporting troops

Drache under attack by RAF Beaufigher in September 1943.

She survived this attack. Eventually Beaufighters got her a year later, i.e. in September 1944.
