Decommissioning and Fate
Norman returned to Sydney in October 1945, and was decommissioned and returned to the Royal Navy in exchange for the Q class destroyer HMS Queenborough. Norman was not reactivated; instead, she was sold off in 1955, and in 1958 was broken up for scrap.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“Ev’n thou who mourn’st the Daisy’s fate,
That fate is thine—no distant date;
Stern Ruin’s ploughshare drives , elate,
Full on thy bloom,
Till crush’d beneath the furrow’s weight,
Shall be thy doom.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
