HMS Whelp was a destroyer of the Royal Navy. In the spring of 1945 the duty given for her was to sail with the carriers and to take a station in their screen. George Anthony Francis Norfolk was her captain from 28 February 1944.
On 23 March 1945 she sailed with Task Force 57. She screened the carriers against the Sakishima airfields, keeping her place among the ships that covered the carrier force.
That station was a destroyer's share of the operation: close company with the carriers while the force was committed against those airfields. The day attaches Whelp to the screen, and to Task Force 57.
On 1 April 1945, at Okinawa, she was again in the screen of Task Force 57. The force that had carried her against the Sakishima airfields in March still had her in company for the Okinawa fighting of that day.
Whelp was not sunk. She survived the war, afloat after the screen on 23 March 1945 and after the screen at Okinawa on 1 April 1945.
