Passenger liners were very rarely pressed into service as warships.

troopship gets fired on, you're doing something wrong...

Here's a thought: How about a passenger liner or large merchant ship as
a
Q-Ship like in WWI? Do two versions of the same ship. When it comes time
for
the Q-Ship to unmask, you replace the civilian ship with something
bristling
with guns/missile pods/DEW fire points or something else obvious that
you
have a wolf among the fold.
