No. She was a heavy cruiser of the regular US Navy. Brown Water Navy was a special part of the US Navy that existed in only two wars: US Civil War (1860s) & Vietnam War (1960s).
The USN Brown Water Navy was basically a river navy, in both the Civil War & Vietnam. In Vietnam the BWN consisted of Swift Boats, PBRs, ASPBs (aka Alpha Boats, ASPB stood for Assault Support Patrol Boat), and Monitors. The Civil War Monitors were armed with 11" guns in turrets & the Vietnam Monitors mounted either a 40mm or 105mm cannon in a turret.
No, the USS Madera County (LST-905) was not a brown water navy ship. LST stands for Landing Ship, Tank, which was designed for amphibious operations, and typically operated in blue water or open ocean. Brown water navy refers to riverine warfare vessels that operate in inland or shallow waters.
Captain John Paul Jones (USN) was commander of a ex-French ship, the USS Bonn Home Richard.
A Navy ship is equipped with cannons and guns and is a lot bigger. However, it is on the water, which makes it an easier target. A submarine is only equipped with torpedoes, but it is underwater, which makes it a bit safer usually, unless the enemy detects the submarine's movement and targets it.
The term "NAR" doesn't refer to a Navy ship - it's the standard Navy acronym for Naval Air Reserve.
