K26 was laid down in June 1918 and launched at Vickers 14 months later. In 1920 she was towed to Chatham for completion and was completed in June 1923.

In 1924, K26 began a world voyage which excited considerable attention. She proceeded via Gibraltar, Malta and the Red Sea, to Colombo and Singapore and, after a short stay there, voyaged back again. K26 was taken out of service in April 1931.
