Millions of dollars in technology, thousands of years of development, and still the best way to hold a boat in place is a big lump on a string. Sometimes you just can't argue with physics.
I mean, you’re not wrong
99% of the weight of an anchor is the chain, the ending just keeps the chain from drifting around, the chain is what holds the boat in place with its weight
@@Chiyasi depends, for example sail boats use a normal strong rope so they have rely on the anchor
@@Senerski well this video is about an aircraft carrier.....
@@Chiyasi cant argue that both pf you have good facts
man that thumbnail made it look like it was way more intense that it really was
If you want to see intense look at the wires the incoming jets grab, those get yanked out crazy fast.

I was standing ''Sound & Security'' watch & wandered near the ''chain locker'' on the USS Sylvania. Being an oblivious 18 year old I wasn't aware the anchor was about to be dropped. The sound is indescribable. That was 1969 & my ears are still ringing!

Anyone else feel cheated?
who this video is nothing more or nothing less than what's written in the title, I don't understand what else you could expect
newcorpse ontheblock
how about an actual drop? not just a anchor drill where they let out 20'
who today I learned people don't read video descriptions anymore, but the video is still the anchor literally dropping, albeit only a section of it. I still fail to understand how anybody could expect anything other than what was written in the title.
newcorpse ontheblock Yes it said anchor drop, not partial anchor drop or letting out a few links of chain. So that's Exactly why I commented the way I did. Understand yet? Probably not.....
who read the fucking description you moron. It also never says anywhere that this is a "full" anchor drop, your argument is idiotic.
“If you see yellow or red, run or you’ll be dead.” The last shot of an anchor chain is painted red, and the second to last shot is painted yellow, as a warning to the boatswains mates that the windlass is either paying out too much anchor, or that it has failed catastrophically.
For reference, a shot of anchor chain is about fifteen fathoms long (1 fathom= 6 feet), or 90 feet.
Ahhh that good ol Surface Warfare board that I almost failed lolol
@@tym4536 lol
Can you explain in simpler terms lol? What happens if the anchor head gets too close?
@@deadshottt17 - it gets a bonner
@@deadshottt17 i believe it whips around the forecastle. Its so heavy and traveling at such high speed it would kill you to put it lightly.
Most people will never know just how massive a aircraft carrier is.
I always think I have a rough idea, then I'll stumble on a video or photo of an aerial view of one and realize, I was nowhere near.
*an
so massive they can’t go into most major ports around the world
same with me and cruiseship. I always think I can imagine how big a cruise ship is until I actually saw one. Wish I can see an aircraft carrier too.

Mainly depends on what kind of steel it is and if you want to go through all the trouble of lugging a piece back to your workshop and cutting it. I’d say not worth the trouble.
@@flux0841 I know bro, it was a joke. But the steel would infact be pretty worth it.
I was trying to figure if it's steel or cast iron. I'm sure it's steel but cast iron doesn't rust like steel.
@@michaelmace924 For the US navy, the requirements for the forged chain are AISI 8623-Ni-CR-Mo and for welded chain AISI 1330 (C-Mn)
Wild times operating the winch and anchor break on the USS Shreveport back 1971 to 73. Anything can go wrong when the rust dust takes over. Seen chain running like a snake across the deck. Seen line smoking , seen eyes grow big with fear. Crazy times
In the Navy, we “let go” an anchor. When you “drop” anchor, you actually lose the anchor itself, or even the chain it’s connected to
One of the things I've always found amusing as a sailor is that the symbol of the Navy is the fouled anchor, the chain wrapping itself around the anchor, i.e. something you never want to happen.
Exactly! I was a twigit back in the day and even I know that! :)
You just made me want to go back and watch a naval battle in Black Sails.
@@VegetaLF7 imagine if other professions did that. The symbol for delivery room doctors would just be a baby tangled in its own umbilical cord.
Its way weirder in that context lol
So when I hit puberty, my balls didn't "drop", they "let go"?
I use a chain just like that on my bike......
Nope, single link of that chain could bend ur bike in half just because of weight xD
no, I have about 6' of that exact same chain and my bike frame is carbon fiber.....
+Gary Vale lol, i collected locks for awhile, had a $5k all titanium MTB and a $3k klein roadie...(still have the klein)
I finally found the ultimate overkill, a 1" x6' cobralinks, harley davidson dealers used to sell em for $300 (got mine on ebay for $60)
Fucker weighed 20 pounds! Had to carry it in my backpack but it was worth it to ride up and lock it up in front of dirtbags in the worst part of town.
Me too. It turns my back wheel.
hahaha...great idea..I think I'll try that too......
Every single job in this vessel is important. Thank you for your service.
Fun fact: it’s the weight of the chain that keeps the ship in place, and not the anchor itself. The anchor anchors the chain!
Anchor drop? Must've been in a 8 foot swimming pool

Shouldn't there be a fence around that big fucking death inducing opening where the chain drops into the depths of hell?
No, it's left open because Navy sailors and Marines like to go for dives into the depths of Hell from time to time.
+Nick N You just won. Semper Fi.
Its ok, they have hardhats on.
it's the military no need dude
Make the bad man fly!
The sheer size of the Anchor Chain, and not getting caught in the Anchor Chain makes you appreciate life. Ahh Navy memories die hard.
It’s astonishing how after hundreds of years, the anchor has still remained a faithful tool in most vessels
I think its cool that centuries later with all current the tech in a modern military ship, they still use a chain and anchor...
well what else would they fucking use

I was assigned to operate the anchor windless brake when I was active duty in "Deck" division aboard U.S.S. Philippine Sea CG-58 in the mid 90s. We didn't use our anchors often, I recall maybe 4 times, but as part of the crew, we always had to "stand by" during "Sea and Anchor Detail" while getting underway or pulling into port.
Isn't it "under weigh"?
Probably.😌
I loved my time aboard USS Midway from '78 through '80...
As an Interior Communications Electrician, I had equipment to maintain from the very bottom of the ship (bilge alarms) to the top of the mast (wind direction and speed "bird,"), from Port to Starboard and from Bow to Stern...Telephones, PA systems, "bitch boxes" and all types of alarms...
Been to the "Focsle" several times and was amazed by the size of the chains...

You were doing important work. In Crimson Tide, Vosler saved the world by fixing the radio to receive the EAM that would launched nuclear missiles against Russia which would have retaliated, starting Armageddon. But today, Trump and MAGA people are on payroll of Russia, they’re kind of keeping Russia inside our government.
0:16 sounds like the beginning of a rollar coaster
I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of ratchet system involved in that sound. But it's probably just the chain slamming against the ship.
On roller coasters that sound is the anti-rollback device, which prevents the train from rolling back down the lift. It's basically just a big ratchet. Very reliable way to prevent things from moving backwards.

+vishal chan Thanks for the info. Looking at my post makes me feel like I'm a member of the CZcams Safety Patrol 😀

try working in a steel plant XD
I think it's strange that an aircraft carrier would need an anchor. Shouldn't a ship that large use water jet propolsion to stay in place, or be tied to wharf when in harbor?
“Hello, everyone! This is your daily dose of internet!”
It’s terrifying to think how heavy one single link of that chain is and it’s moving that quickly
Each link weighs about 360 pounds.
@@ColonelSandersLiteDamn
0:27 “yep... dats a big chain”
Even with steel toes, you’re losing a foot. Minimum.
You'd lose a leg or your life if that chain caught your foot. Get pulled right down through the hawse pipe into the water or have leg ripped off in a second. This was not an actual anchor drop. The real thing is far more intense and dangerous.
@@cvn6555 I think he's talking about if the chain flop over to the side and were to slam down on your foot from above.
@@RikerLovesWorf Lol, no. Making things up isn't good.
youtube recomendations: would you like to see an anchor drop?

I was hoping for flames sparks and explosions like the thumbnail shows. -0.44
www.GPcarAudio.com what do you mean? Did you not see those sparks at 0:24 they were FUCKING INSANE!!!!
The thumbnail shows sparks and rust , both are shown in the video above .... I really don't know if you're joking or what's going on through your brain , but it defenetly aint right
Wirelike there are only a few sparks. The thumbnail makes it look like a fire is going on in the hole. Idk. Maybe one frame looks like that. The sparks in the thumbnail could be fake so it could have been photo shopped.
www.GPcarAudio.com there was sparks, that’s just motion blur from the capture.
www.GPcarAudio.com Lots of sparks. Is possibility that you briefly looked away from the screen ,when they occurred.
If you look at 0:37 you can see how over time, a channel has been worn into the metal. Puts into perspective the amount of force, and just how much mass is being moved around there
Weight, not mass.
@@danielfronc4304 Weight is the force, mass is what is being moved around
@@danielfronc4304 he just weighed you down with a massive truth turd...
Imagine getting caught and drug under that chain. It's make ground meat out of you.
yeah dude. but the weight of those links aswell would be insane. would love to see the winch system on that thing
Wow, that is incredible! Big chain, must be freaking loud!
I like how they're all standing around it. Like what are they going to do if it loses control 😂
Imagine ghost rider with that
He swings it once and slashes the planet in half...

+Frank Boyl Ghost Rider can do anything man it'd be just another day at the office ;)
+Bantham Nobilis Thanks for letting me know that.
Bantham Nobilis Are you fucking serious?
I remember that being on an aircraft carrier. It is extremely loud and dangerous. One would have to be present when the anchor is drop to realize the dangers involved
I don't have to be present to realize how dangerous it could be.
I bet that chain could leave dent even in tank's armor if it snaps and hit it or kill any nearby standing human instantly.
@@myentertainment55 always think the same for the arrestor gear catching the planes
Cleared hot - why is there no safety railing or cover or ?
@@siriosstar4789 in many of the evolutions at sea railings are removed to prevent snags. In the folsom where the anchor is dropped on an aircraft carrier, the are in is somewhat enclosed except for the large mouth area where it comes out. Everybody worer orange kapok life jackets and hard hats just incase they went overboard.
Cleared hot - thanks very much for the reply .
It’s the video I never thought I needed.
See how clear the whole area is well done boys keep up the good work
"In Soviet Russia, anchor drops you."
I've always wondered what this looked like. It's cool the way that the chain has cut that massive groove into the ramp.
I'm definitely geeking out at those huge chain links
This is some unimaginable force!
Dangerous but really interesting to watch.
Used to serve on the USS Kitty Hawk, (CV-63) as part of the Supply department. Made plenty of random deliveries up to this part of the ship and always wanted to see an anchor drop.
The Shitty Kitty
@@isaacayala5552 Yup, got a love/hate relationship with that ship there. Everything was falling apart and I hated being there, but all these years later I do kind of miss her. Shame they opted to scrap her instead of turning her into a museum, would have liked to visit my old stomping grounds one last time.
**slaps chain**
Now this , this is an anchor buddy.
served onboard the reagan from 2010-2015 as a eng em. i hated my time on there but looking back, i learned alot.
I was just impressed with how clean the space was. Hats off to whoevers part ship that is.
leave it to the navy. "What's your job?", "we stand in groups and watch a hole in our boat."
It's because they can catch fire.
This Guy it's all metal..
Cpt AweSome the friction can can cause sparks
Mehmed Sviryov but its not gonna burn
that would not be there only job. the anchor rarely gets used
Man, those guys and gals have that Foc'cle looking really good! When I served on USS Constellation, that was the job of the "Deck Department" - I remember how great their spaces looked back then. It's amazing how memories are triggered by a simple video! Thanks for posting this.
Dude this shit just SOUNDS super dangerous. Must be super dangerous to work around. Respect.
I was on the USS Essex (LHD-2) as a Marine SSgt with the MEU. We were in route to the middle east right after 9/11, and our birthing was right next to the focsle. We drove through a damn typhoon with 40' seas, and God damn is that anchor chair noisy! Clanging back and forth, slept like shit. Not to mention almost being tossed out of the rack if we took a beam sea. Fun times....
This is the most controlled anchor drop I've even seen on CZcams.
doesnt look like it went out far enough to even touch the water.
No matter how technologically advanced we can get, you still have to drop an anchor in a sea vessel. Some things never change.
Thanks for bringing this up 5 years later CZcams
I used to work on a tanker, the size and speed these air craft carriers move at are insane. Imagine a floating city pushing 40-50 zooming through the ocean. It’s wild
Wow, incredible stuff. Im not gonna sleep tonight i am so amped up after watching that amazing clip.
? its not that serious lol
amazing that after thousands of years an anchor still just a rope/cable/chain with a weight/hook on it.
Chris Namelast not really
Chris Namelast also amazing that a tire is still round after 1000s of years
and by tire, I mean wheel...
and we still use sharp things to cut stuff
thank you men for your service!
I'd have to say i'm impressed that the anchor deck is as clean as 4 star hotels in where i live lol
I can't imagine breathing in rust dust is ideal
Its fine. Barely any dust at all.
When the camera isn't there, you'll see a chief petty officer walking around with a cup of coffee. 😅
To be fair every CPO always has a cup of joe in their hand.
And you’ll see some semen, er, I mean uh, SEAmen too. 🤣
Why do I find this so fantastic?
Its amazing that this anchor can hold a ship in place
As a infantry NCO i gotta tell you guys: you must be really good at cleaning and shining floors. I dont envy you at all
That's literally what we do every morning and evening for about an hour is cleaning stations. Clean the spaces you own then the XO or CDO does their walk through inspection.
There goes 44 seconds of my life
Right down the anchor hole 🙄
And back into the chainlocker
On one of my tours aboard the Midway the anchor windlass was in my berthing compartment by my rack and every time they dropped the anchor we had a nice loud wakeup call
The pure strength to yank it back out or brake system is what astounds me
See, all that dust makes me glad I never got sent on a ship

I need one of those to chain my motorcycle in London!
Just the sight of all that iron streaming by like that is freaky, when you think about how much the chain actually weighs. It's moving like it doesn't weigh much but... wow.
So spacious! The forecastle is indoor and looks like a training center damn!
That's what I thought, too!
It would be interesting to see the machines that make those chains and anchors for these big ships of all kind.
That's a lot of stagnant seamen
Richard Burns my thoughts exactly
"Dick Burns? Really? You should get that looked at.
That's one of the best comments I've read in a while hahahahaha
The balls are inert
Been woken up by that.more than once. My rack was right above that.
So cool!
If the hulk had a weapon this would be it.

I can't believe that I was clickbated in to watching a video of an anchor dropping.
Gosh I'm disappointed in myself.
That's amazing.
LOL so much excitement! NAVY... it's not an adventure, it's just a job. 😉👍😁
Why are there 20 people staring at chain links?
One white link one shot two white links two shots and so on yellow links bad red to late
It's a critical action on the ship, and can quickly become disastrous if not controlled. Pretty much everyone who is accountable for that specific action will be directly present, stopping shy of the department head, most likely. On my destroyer, that meant an E-6, E-7, and an O-1 in charge of that division. The O-3 in charge of the department was on the bridge, overseeing the whole thing.
It's seriously one of the most dangerous things on a ship.
Roy Batty Probably doing training.
25? Most I ever see in frame is 8. Also this is a giant m-f'in carrier. Last point is to read the video description - it's an evaluation - meaning more supervision / observation.
Roy Batty I'm a seaman and I order you to stand down! 😂
I watched a video on how they anchor a chain to the ocean
It's not what people think
The chain effectively lays along the bottom of the ocean for a long distance and that weight holds the ship in place, it's not like the anchor is attached at the bottom of the ocean
I found that fascinating, different to how I thought an anchor holds a ship in place
Nice special effects on the thumbnail 👌
