Brooks Ashley Rowlett Obituary
It is with a heavy heart that we praise the great Brooks Ashley Rowlett! Brooks was an honest and kind man and a loving family member. However, to Rebellion Research Brooks was our most valued and trusted Battleship mind. Brooks had an exceptional and epic understanding of not just the history but also the science behind the engineering and construction.
A true beautiful mind. As Eric Meyer called Brooks, “the Yoda”. Brooks, was surely that!
We are still thankful for Brooks helping us with Who Sank the Blücher?
Over the years no Admiral or author impressed me with as vast a knowledge from Bismarck to Battleship Missouri as Brooks. He was remarkable.
We will miss the amazing mind that Brooks was kind enough to share with us! We say goodbye Brooks!
