Operational service

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. Unlike many other destroyers of this class, none of the Norwegian ships received any significant upgrades during their operational service.

Trondheim continued to serve in the Royal Norwegian Navy until removed from the active list in 1961.
