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:
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
