HMAS Norman (G49)

HMAS "Norman" (G49) was an N class destroyer laid down by John I. Thornycroft and Company at Woolston, Hampshire on 27 July 1939, launched on 30 October 1940 and commissioned on 29 September 1941.

She was manned by Australians and commissioned in the Royal Australian Navy but remained the property of the British Government. As part of her Australian deployment, "Norman" served with the British Eastern Fleet from January 1942 to February 1945, after which she joined the British Pacific Fleet.

After the end of World War II, "Norman" was returned to the Royal Navy in October 1945, in exchange for the Q class destroyer HMS "Queenborough".Trevor Weaver (1994). "Q class Destroyers and Frigates of the Royal Australian Navy", pg 87]

"Norman" arrived at Cashmore's in Newport on 1 April 1958 where she was broken up for scrap.
