These three ships, , and ''Porcupine'' were part of a larger group of 36 destroyers ordered as part of this shipbuilding programme, as a follow-on to the six prototype "26-knotters" ordered in the previous 1892–1893 Estimates.〔Lyon 2001, p. 77.〕〔Lyon 2001, pp. 19–20.〕 The Admiralty laid down broad requirements for the destroyers, including a speed of on sea trials, with the detailed design left to the builders, resulting in each of the builders producing different designs.〔Chesneau and Kolesnik 1979, p. 87.〕〔Manning 1961, p. 39.〕

''Porcupine'', together with the other two Palmer-built destroyers, was laid down on 28 March 1894. She was launched on 19 September 1895.〔Friedman 2009, p. 302.〕 ''Porcupine'' reached a speed of during sea trials, exceeding the required 27 knots.〔Brassey 1897, p. 321.〕 She was completed in March 1896.〔
