Repulse was assigned to support Allied operations during the Norwegian Campaign in April–June 1940. On 7 April, "Repulse", along with the bulk of the Home Fleet, was ordered to sea to intercept what was thought to be another attempt to break-out into the North Atlantic. The ship was detached the following day to search for a German ship reported by the destroyer , but the destroyer had been sunk by the before "Repulse" arrived and she was ordered to rendezvous with her sister "Renown" south of the Lofoten Islands, off the Norwegian coast. On 12 April, "Repulse" was ordered to return to Scapa Flow to refuel and she escorted a troop convoy upon her return. In early June the ship was sent to the North Atlantic to search for German raiders and played no part in the evacuation of Norway.
