    Senior Chief Adrian Rowe, participates in a community relations event in support of the USS Pampanito Museum and Memorial, in San Francisco, California, May 22.
    A native of King William, Virginia, and the SWS master chief for the future Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) pre-commissioning unit (PCU), Rowe mentored junior Sailors and fostered valuable knowledge transfer during his participation in a training event held in Sunnyvale, California, May 18-22.

    Rowe was one of a handful of Sailors hand selected to participate in Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Reverse Strategic Weapons System (SWS) Week.

    PAE SSP’s Reverse SWS Week serves as a powerful realization of the Chief of Naval Operations’ priority to strengthen the vital connection between the foundry and the fleet. By bringing the warfighter directly to the industrial base, PAE SSP ensures that the comprehensive modernization occurring across the entire sea-based leg of the nuclear triad is not just a theoretical concept, but a tangible, collaborative effort between the Navy’s acquisition community and the final end-users.
