Summary: Let \(p\) be an odd prime number. We study growth patterns associated with finitely ramified Galois groups considered over the various number fields varying in a \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-tower. These Galois groups can be considered as non-commutative analogues of ray class groups. For certain \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extensions in which a given prime above \(p\) is completely split, we prove precise asymptotic lower bounds. Our investigations are motivated by the classical results of Iwasawa, who showed that there are growth patterns for \(p\)-primary class numbers of the number fields in a \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-tower.
