USS Brooklyn light cruiser (CL-40) / Chilean Navy cruiser O'Higgins

The Chilean Navy cruiser O'Higgins, which was formerly USS Brooklyn light cruiser, (CL-40) Brooklyn was the lead ship of her class of seven, and the third United States Navy ship to bear its name. Commissioned in 1937, she served in the Atlantic during World War II, as a convoy escort and as fire support for amphibious landings.
Decommissioned in 1947.

On 9 January 1951, USS Brooklyn was transferred under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program to Chile, where she was renamed O'Higgins after one of Chile's founding fathers, Bernardo O'Higgins, and she served for 40 years. She was sold for scrap in 1992, but foundered and sank off Pitcairn Island while under tow to shipbreakers in India. One of her turrets is preserved at the Chilean Navy base at Talcahuano.
