A S Division ' This division of highly trained specialists is responsible for carrying out ROWAN's primary mission, anti-submarine warfare. ROWAN's major weapon is the anti-submarine rocket QASROCQ which is ' maintained by AXS Divisionis ASROC gunneris mates. The torpedomen are charged with the care and firing, if necessary, of the torpedo launcher mounts and torpedoes themselves. These men work hand-in-hand with the diligent sonarmen who are on watch round-the-clock as they listen for any danger which may be lurking in the deep. Af S Divisionis constant vigilance is another reason why the GOIN, ROWAN keeps going. 1 P LTJG Lowe ASW Officer LTJG Sorenson Asst.
