Plane Island. Thirteen Germans and one Italian were captured. On 22 May Lookout made radar contact with Italian auxiliary transport Stella Maris. Lookout fired 24 rounds of 4.7 inch and along with Laforey, successfully sank the Italian vessel. Lookout then covered Laforey as she picked up survivors. Operation Corkscrew On 8 and 9 June Lookout was involved in Operation Corkscrew. It was during this operation that Lookout achieved the distinction of probably being the most heavily bombed destroyer to survive the war. The 19 Destroyer Flotilla, which included Lookout, bombarded a shore position. But soon white flags could be seen hanging out of windows and troops eventually landed with no resistance. As dusk approached, the other ships withdrew leaving Lookout patrolling the island as guard ship. When the other ships were about 10 miles away, the Luftwaffe appeared expecting to find an invasion fleet, but only found the destroyer Lookout. Lookout went to action stations and put up an anti aircraft barrage and took violent evasive action. By this time however her gunnery was impaired by the failing light.

Lookout supported the allied landings at Salerno (Operation Avalanche) in September 1943, shelling German gun positions in support of 56 Division. A few days later she was nearly hit by a glider bomb but sustained little damage and was able to continue bombardments in support of the army until 15 September, when she sailed back to Malta for repairs.

On 18 March 1945, Lookout participated in the Battle of the Ligurian Sea, sinking the . Lookout remained on bombardment and escort duties of the west coast of Italy until Victory Europe day.
