No. Warships converted over to yachts don't count. Even John Wayne's yacht and Jacque Costeau's research ship used to be mine layers.

Same goes for other way around. Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were troop carriers in WW II and were originally fitted with swimming pools. Same for the cruise ships converted to British troop carriers during the Falklands war.

The ship I'm asking for was built as a warship and was still classified as a warship when she had a swimming pool on board. As a matter of fact, she is still a warship but most of the swimming pool is gone (part of it is still there).
