HMAS Norman (G49) was an N-class destroyer of the Royal Australian Navy, manned by an Australian crew. That is the ship this name and number belong to: a destroyer of the N class, sailed under Australian colours.
Henry Mackay Burrell was her captain from September 1941. His command is the one attached to her in the wartime record of this hull.
The battle named for Norman is Okinawa, dated 1 April 1945. In May she screened the carriers off Sakishima, the duty set down for her in that fighting.
Screening held her with the carriers off Sakishima through that May work. She was not sunk, and she came out of the screen still afloat.
Norman survived the war. When the fighting was over she went back to the Royal Navy, and her time as an Australian-crewed N-class destroyer ended with that return.
The hull that had carried the pendant G49 under the Royal Australian Navy passed back into Royal Navy hands. She had outlasted the war, the same destroyer that had screened the carriers off Sakishima and had not been lost there.
