HMS Undine was a destroyer of the Royal Navy. In the spring of 1945 she went to sea with the carriers, a screening ship kept in company with the larger vessels she was there to cover.

Terence Corin Robinson became captain of Undine on 11 October 1943. From that date the destroyer was under his command.

On 23 March 1945 she sailed with Task Force 57. She screened the carriers against the Sakishima airfields, holding her station with the ships that covered the carrier force while it operated against those fields.

On 1 April 1945 she was at Okinawa, in the screen of Task Force 57, the force she had sailed with in March. She was not sunk.

HMS Undine survived the war. She was not sunk, and the destroyer that had screened the carriers of Task Force 57 against the Sakishima airfields on 23 March 1945, and that had stood in that force's screen at Okinawa on 1 April, came through the war still afloat.
