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.
