The submarine would be the forth U.S. Navy vessel named for Brooklyn, a borough of New York City on Long Island.

[1] 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.

The VPM inserts a segment into the boat's hull which adds four vertical launch tubes.
