Yep, could be an armored merchant, or an aircraft carrier like the TSS Manxman:
She was built as a steamer for passengers in 1904 Then served as an aircraft carrier in WW1 as HMS Manxman And finally a troop transport in WW2 as HMS Caduceus. Manxman? I almost can feel the vibrations of a Tourist Trophy bike between my legs.

Well I'm always in favor of any thing that could launch a SopwithBBY but Jimbuna, famous for his astute hint accuracy, would surely have responded to the era's triple-expansion steam power condeser clues with "only temporarily" . In the case of TSS Manxman inasmuch as she was coverted to an oil burner shortly after WWI to stay operational during a coal strike that shackled the steamships of the shipping line.

Neither unfortunately.
MASSIVE Clue: Usually sailed without an escort.

I thought it was changed/reconstructed to a warship?

I honestly thought once the condenser was guessed the vessel would be quickly identified. MASSIVE CLUE This vessel saw service during both world wars in a variety of roles, some of which have been mentioned above and she does feature in GWX
