Armide was ordered in 1911 by the Imperial Japanese Navy and was designed by Maxime Laubeuf.
The ship was to receive the number 14 in Japan (第 14 号艦) but it was requisitioned by the French government on 3 June 1915, after which the Japanese themselves built a replacement No 14 to the same design, ordering the diesel engines from France.

The Armide was built in the Schneider shipyard in Chalon-sur-Saone, France.
The keel was laid down in 1912, it was launched in July 1915, and was completed in June 1916.

Armide operated in the Mediterranean during the course of World War I and was stricken from the Navy list in July 1932.
Armide was given the pennant number of SD 2.
