High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Porcupine was a Royal Navy Banterer-class post ship of 24 guns, built in 1805-07 at Topsham, Exeter, England. She was rated a 24-gun ship and the original plan was that she would mount that number of long 9-pounders on her main deck. However she also carried eight 24-pounder carronades and two long 6-pounders on her quarter-deck and forecastle. By the time that Captain Henry Duncan commissioned her in March 1807, the Admiralty had added two brass howitzers to her armament, while exchanging her 9-pounders for 32-pounder carronades.
