-'''{{Specs|name}}''' is the lead ship of the [[Brooklyn (Family)|Brooklyn class]] of light cruisers. Laid down in 1933, she would enter service in 1937 and serve throughout World War Two, notably taking part in the Battle of Casablanca and providing fire support for the Invasion of Sicily and the Anzio-Nettuna landings before providing naval gunfire for the Allied troops landing in southern France. Postwar, she was put into reserve in 1947, before being transferred to the Chilean Navy in 1951, being renamed to "O'Higgins" and serving for another 40 years. She finally sunk under tow in 1992.

 Introduced in [[Update 1.87 "Locked On"]], USS Brooklyn is in her 1941 refit, and as this was completed, her anti-aircraft battery is quite small. With only 8 heavy machine guns, this will do almost nothing to protect the ship against enemy air. This does however leave the ship less vulnerable to splash from high explosive shells, as far fewer crew are in exposed or unarmoured positions when compared to her sister ship, [[USS Helena]], which is in a later configuration. With 15 {{Annotation|6-inch|152 mm}} guns with an exceptional fire rate of 6 seconds with a good crew, Brooklyn is lethal to other cruisers, and of course destroyers, being able to easily dispatch any lightly armoured ship, and more heavily armoured ships once the range closes.

The sensitivity and delay are the same as the default HE shell with a trigger radius of 23 m. Like other HE-VT shells, these can still be used as normal HE shells against surface targets but will detonate in the air if an aircraft is detected within the trigger radius. As these shells have almost double the explosive mass of the [[5/38 Mark 12 Dual Purpose (127 mm)]] found on American destroyers (as well as Brookyln's secondary armament, the [[5 inch/25 Mk.13 AA (127 mm)]]), any aircraft caught by these shells will be eviscerated. The major factor holding these shells back is the limited elevation of the guns to only +40° and the slow traverse rate, which means that any agile aircraft at closer ranges and/or high altitude are not affected by this shell. Larger and slower aircraft at low/medium altitude are the best targets for these shells.

 * 5 inch Mk. 36 AAC: This is the default HE shell with a mechanical delay fuse. They have a muzzle velocity of 657 m/s (2,155 f/s) and a TNT equivalent explosive mass of 3.16 kg. As these are delay fuses set at the moment of firing, they are affected by the Gunner crew skill "Distance fuse set accuracy" and do need a ranging shot fired before the fuse can be set accurately. These shells are rendered effectively useless after unlocking the Mk. 28 AAC-VT shell.
 * 5 inch Mk. 28 AAC-VT: These shells are identical to the Mk. 36 AAC with the exception being the usage of a VT shell rather than a mechanical time delay fuse. This gives the shell more flexibility and destructive potential against aircraft thanks to the VT fuse. The trigger radius is 23 m.

 * 6 inch Mk. 34 HC (Base Fuse): This an HE shell that is nearly identical to the default HE shell with the only difference being a base detonating fuse rather than a point contact fuse. This shell has a fuse sensitivity of 10 mm and a fuse delay of 3 m (as opposed to 0.1 mm and 0.35 m, respectively, for the default shell). This makes the shell less effective against small targets such as torpedo boats as the shell may pass through the target without detonating. Slightly larger targets that do not have heavy armour can be heavily damaged with this shell, as it will detonate further inside the ship's volume.
