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:
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
