HMAS Brisbane Commemorative Flag

At the top of the coat of arms of the Australian city Brisbane are two stars and a Staffordshire knot, a badge of the same-name British regiment which represent the life events of Sir Brisbane, a governor, officer, and astronomer. Below, against a background of river waves, is depicted the caduceus, the staff carried by Hermes, the herald of the gods, and port symbols on the Brisbane River banks.

 

 

Key Features of Brisbane

• HE Shells and Torpedoes: Brisbane has access to High-Explosive (HE) shells and a reinforced torpedo armament, which can launch more torpedoes with higher range and speed compared to its British counterpart, the Minotaur.
• AP Shells: Unlike Minotaur, Brisbane’s Armor-Piercing (AP) shells do not have improved characteristics.
• Consumables: The ship is equipped with Hydroacoustic Search and Surveillance Radar, making it a significant threat to enemy destroyers at medium distances.
• Armor and Survivability: Brisbane’s armor is not very sturdy, and it lacks the option to switch Surveillance Radar for a Smoke Generator. However, it can restore a large portion of lost HP using the Specialized Repair Teams consumable.

This combination of features makes Brisbane a versatile and formidable cruiser, especially effective against destroyers but requiring careful handling due to its weaker armor.
