Japanese Instrument of Surrender
In July 1945, the corvette was used as a convoy escort off Okinawa and Iwo Jima. "Pirie" was the third Australian warship to enter Japanese territorial waters during the war, entering Tokyo Bay on 31 August 1945. She remained in Tokyo Bay until mid-September and was present on Victory over Japan Day (2 September 1945), when the Japanese Instrument of Surrender was signed.
