Greetings,
I too was on the Rowan from 60 to 62 in the #1 engineroom and was doing
the Christmas Island thing. All that I can remember is heat, little water,
fishing and chasing Soviet trawlers all over the Pacific Ocean. We
crossed the Equator more times than one would ever want and ate more
roast beef than the law would allow. The only medical problem I have is
that I can't keep my hair from turning grey and the ostioauthritis in
various jounts and the fact that I have to fight my weight all the
time. I don't see that being radiated is much different than working in
a power generation facility for 35 years will do to ones body.
Anyway I am the webmaster of the USS Rowan DD405/782 web site. If
you have any information that you want to get out you can contact me at:
