Operation Vigorous
Early in her career, "Norman" participated in Operation Vigorous and the Madagascar campaign, but spent most of the time between 1942 and the start of 1945 on uneventful patrols of the Indian Ocean. In January 1945, the destroyer was involved in the Burma campaign, before being transferred from the British Eastern Fleet to the British Pacific Fleet. During April and May, "Norman" was involved in the Battle of Okinawa, but then spent the rest of World War II as the duty destroyer at Manus Island.
