I think we are suffering from the confusion of switching from Quiberon to Quickmatch. I revised the text based on the Australian Navy's web page on Quickmatch.
On her first voyage, HMAS Quickmatch intercepted and captured the Italian blockade runner Cortelazzo in the South Atlantic on 1 December 1942. After escorting convoys in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, Quickmatch joined the British Pacific Fleet in May 1944. On 25 July 1944 Quickmatch was part of an inshore force that entered Sabang Harbor, Sumatra to conduct a close-range bombardment of Japanese port installations. She continued to escort the British Pacific fleet during carrier operations in support of the Okinawa campaign and attacks on the Japanese homeland.
