Operational Service
From December 1941 to December 1944, Lismore operated with the British Eastern Fleet. Following this, she was assigned to the British Pacific Fleet.
The corvette earned four battle honours for her wartime service: "Indian Ocean 1941-44", "Sicily 1943", "Pacific 1945", and "Okinawa 1945".
Lismore was paid off from RAN service on 3 July 1946, transferring immediately into the Royal Netherlands Navy, where she was renamed HNLMS Batjan and reclassified as a frigate. She was removed from service in 1958.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
