SECRET TECHNOLOGY Helps the US Navy Anchor Massive Aircraft Carriers at Top Speed?
Welcome back to the Navy Power channel! Today, we’re going to explore a very special part of a warship, an element that has been around for a long time and is the key to keeping these massive ships steady in rough seas: the anchor.
Made from heavy metals, the anchor has a vital job: to keep the ship firmly in place on the water. This is not just a basic piece of equipment; it’s a life-saving element that helps large ships withstand powerful waves and strong winds.
In harsh sea conditions, the anchor is not only a tool to prevent the ship from drifting, but also an indispensable part of naval tactics.
So, how does the anchor perform such an important role? Let’s find out.
Although there are various designs, most anchors feature at least two hooks (also called flukes) to latch onto the seabed, preventing the ship from drifting during big waves or strong winds.
Have you ever wondered just how big an anchor needs to be to hold a warship, which can be hundreds of meters long and weigh tens of thousands of tons?
