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:
“The more the specific feelings of being under obligation range themselves under a supreme principle of human dependence the clearer and more fertile will be the realization of the concept, indispensable to all true culture, of service; from the service of God down to the simple social relationship as between employer and employee.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
