Royal Navy destroyers as fast transports

Did the Royal Navy consider destroyer conversions comparable to American APD fast transports?

Britain used destroyer hulls for amphibious command and transport tasks, but was less inclined to create a comfortable, specialized APD-style conversion.

British destroyers and destroyer hulls did serve in amphibious command and transport roles. The distinction is institutional: the Royal Navy was more likely to assign a destroyer directly to carry commandos than to rebuild it into a specialized and comfortable troop transport. That expedient worked, but it was neither pleasant nor always the most sensible long-term arrangement.
