Cross-Channel ferries became amphibious-warfare ships

How did the Royal Navy use cross-Channel ferries after the fall of France?

It converted many into infantry landing ships for amphibious warfare, with some also considered for minelaying.

The Royal Navy converted many cross-Channel ferries into landing ships after France fell. The vessels were especially useful as small and medium infantry landing ships because an existing transport hull could be adapted to move troops into amphibious operations. Converted Dutch ferries employed during Operation Claymore illustrate the type's use. Minelaying was considered as another role, but amphibious warfare became their principal function.
