Captain John Stewart Cowie (23 June, 1898 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Cowie designed a new Torpedo Control Disc which Vernon was evaluating around 1928. Its innovation was that it was suitable to all torpedo speeds and all ranges. It was deemed that four should be constructed for evaluation, in the hopes that they might replace the Torpedo Control Disc Mark II**, which was inspiring criticism.[1]
