LHD replacements as amphibious ships and backup carriers

Could the Royal Navy use an auxiliary or amphibious ship as a temporary carrier?

A purpose-built LHD is the more plausible route: it could replace Albion and Bulwark for amphibious work while providing a limited backup aviation platform.

The answer separates this idea from permanently converting an auxiliary into a full carrier. As future littoral-strike requirements develop, replacements for Albion and Bulwark may increasingly resemble landing helicopter docks. Such ships would primarily move and support amphibious forces. Their large flight decks could also provide a limited backup-carrier option when the fleet needed additional aviation space.
