HMAS Brisbane (1915)

HMAS Brisbane (1915)

HMAS "Brisbane" was a "Town" class light cruiser laid down by HMA Naval Dockyard at Cockatoo Island, Sydney in New South Wales on 25 January 1913, launched on 30 September 1915 by Mrs Fisher, wife of Prime Minister Andrew Fisher, and commissioned on 31 October 1916.

HMAS "Brisbane" paid off on 22 January 1929 and was placed in reserve at Sydney. The ship recommissioned on 2 April 1935 and sailed for the United Kingdom on 2 May 1935, manned by a complement which would form the balance of the ship's company of the cruiser HMAS "Sydney". She paid off at Portsmouth in England on 24 September 1935 and sold for scrap to Thomas W. Ward and Company of Sheffield in June 1936.
