HMAS Whyalla paid off
On 16 May 1946, Bathurst-class corvette HMAS Whyalla (J153) paid off. She was later sold to the Victorian Public Works Department. The corvette was modified for civilian service, renamed Rip, and towed to Melbourne, where she entered service as a lighthouse maintenance vessel at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay.
