USS Brooklyn (SSN-816) will be a nuclear-powered Virginia-class submarine of the United States Navy, the third Block VI attack submarines and 43rd overall of her class.
The submarine would be the fourth U.S. Navy vessel named for Brooklyn, a borough of New York City on Long Island.
Uniquely, Brooklyn was not ordered prior to her naming due to a dispute between the Navy and shipyards Huntington Ingalls Industries and General Dynamics Electric Boat over the potential cost.
