Commissioned too late for service in the Second World War, following sale her pennant number was changed to D305. She was one of four Cr-class destroyers sold to Norway.[1] Unlike many other destroyers of this class, none of the Norwegian ships received any significant upgrades during their operational service.[2]
Trondheim continued to serve in the Royal Norwegian Navy until removed from the active list in 1961.[citation needed]
