Brisbane Tier X Commonwealth (Australian) Light Cruiser 1947

Developed after the end of World War II, this light cruiser project has powerful and advanced AA defenses. She is armed with 152 mm dual-purpose main battery guns housed in turrets designed to facilitate a high rate of fire.

 

 

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

Key Features of Brisbane

• Brisbane resembles Minotaur but with access to HE shells and a reinforced torpedo armament that can launch a greater number of torpedoes. The torpedoes themselves have a higher range and speed than those of the ship’s British counterpart. Not all differences are advantages, however, as Brisbane’s AP shells lack the improved characteristics that Minotaur’s have.
• This cruiser poses a serious threat at medium distances, especially for enemy destroyers due to her Hydroacoustic Search and Surveillance Radar consumables. At the same time—as most Minotaur captains can attest to—Brisbane’s armour is not the sturdiest, and unlike Minotaur, this ship cannot switch out her Surveillance Radar for a Smoke Generator for an added layer of security. In case of heavy damage, though, she can restore a large part of her lost HP with the Specialized Repair Teams consumable.
