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.

exactly
lets not get irrational guys
Low Budget Productions the power of Photoshop 😂
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.
Stranger: "so what do you do for living?"
That guy: "I watch the anchor goes down"
goes down...

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!
I feel your pain. Actually i hear it.
WHAT?!?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Damn...I can imagine. At least I'd like to think I can. Wow. So everyone had on ear protection except you I suppose?
@@ThePrufessa Sound & Security Watch is not required to wear ear protection. It was a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
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.

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.
There's a your mom joke hidden in there somewhere.
RUclips blacksmiths be like: you could make a knife out of that
Lol
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)
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'm gonna die”

“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

Phil Brown yeah if the chain break fails then damn!
i suspect it is to protect from bashing you head on the low steel girders ect in the room, just a guess really.
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

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.
The sheer size of the Anchor Chain, and not getting caught in the Anchor Chain makes you appreciate life. Ahh Navy memories die hard.
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

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 RUclips Safety Patrol 😀
haha =p
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?
youtube recomendations: would you like to see an anchor drop?
ME: i'm glad you asked
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.

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

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 .
"In Soviet Russia, anchor drops you."
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.
It’s astonishing how after hundreds of years, the anchor has still remained a faithful tool in most vessels
“Hello, everyone! This is your daily dose of internet!”
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, incredible stuff. Im not gonna sleep tonight i am so amped up after watching that amazing clip.
? its not that serious lol
"Drop port anchor"
"what?"
"Drop it now!"
I can't imagine breathing in rust dust is ideal
Its fine. Barely any dust at all.
Every single job in this vessel is important. Thank you for your service.
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.
I am endlessly impressed with how clean that room is.
@Sith 3P0 Evidently! When you look at a lot of working areas on ships they're usually very dirty. It says a lot that the ship's company can have such pride, even if the work is the most boring.
I've always wondered what this looked like. It's cool the way that the chain has cut that massive groove into the ramp.
There goes 44 seconds of my life
Right down the anchor hole 🙄
And back into the chainlocker
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!
True fact!
I like how they're all standing around it. Like what are they going to do if it loses control 😂
**slaps chain**
Now this , this is an anchor buddy.
I can't believe that I was clickbated in to watching a video of an anchor dropping.
Gosh I'm disappointed in myself.
So these were the chains, that white walkers and the army of the dead used to lift up Daenerys' dragon. Now I see.
Thanks for bringing this up 5 years later RUclips
I like how they really think plastic helmets are gonna afford any amount of protection from that shit.
like your bare head would do better.
Gandalf the Grey
plastic helmet protects ur hair..
lol..
Gandalf the Grey They probably aren't thinking that. Hardhats are just a safety standard. (Do i actually need to tell this?)
Gandalf the Grey they are called hard hat for a reason. if it didnt work they wouldnt use them dumbass.
Gandalf the Grey the chain hardley ever breaks. however fragments of the deck break off and go flying every time that chain starts moving
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! 😂
This is the most controlled anchor drop I've even seen on RUclips.
doesnt look like it went out far enough to even touch the water.
The pure strength to yank it back out or brake system is what astounds me
Shits off the chai...
....I'll let myself out.
Nick Johnson ....N.......
Nick Johnson you are the weakest link 😜 I'm only pulling your chain........ leave the door open I'm right behind you

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.
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
In true military fashion... 8 people standing around watching the chain be retracted
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. 🤣
No matter how technologically advanced we can get, you still have to drop an anchor in a sea vessel. Some things never change.

I would hate if my 30 year US Naval career consisted of me watching a rusty metal chain dropping in the ocean and it being reeled in over and over and over again. At some point I would wrap that rusty metal chain around my neck and call it a night.
I need one of those to chain my motorcycle in London!
Lol, what the fuck is that hard hat gonna do for you if that chain fails and breaks?
If that chain breaks the rest of chain will whip around like a fire hose. Hard hats will do nothing. USS MIDWAY 1977-1981

Bruh moment
Oh no, now RUclips thinks I have a thing for anchors 😂
When you finnaly go after a week of trying.
That's a lot of people watching a chain slide down a hole. No wonder why it costs so much to operate these beasts.
when you are deployed at sea in the Navy your minimim work schedule is 12 on 12 off 7 days a week with an additional watch every fourth night which can be 4, 8, or even 12 hours depending upon rank and needs of the position. (as an E4 I stood an 8 hour watch in the squadron ready room)
So we are talking an 88 hour work week under standard deployment. No days off.
During workups, carquals and prepping for live missle shoots, 16-18 hour workdays were the norm, and I do recall at least a couple that went the full 23. Govt regs require 1 hour off per day.
Just a little perspective from someone who has been there.
Thanks for the feedback, I've always been wondering what a typical week looks like in deployment, out of curiosity.
Especially in the Navy since you guys are pretty much stuck into a floating building lol.
That's really more hours than I expected, how long is a deployment?
+World Citizen a cruise is generally 7 months or at least it was back in the eighties, though depending on strategic commitments they could go 9.
It does make perfect sense to work you till youre dog tired when at sea... can you imagine over 5000 guys, the bulk of which are aged 18-22, bored, with time and energy on their hands?
It's all about guarantees in the field
*****
I guess there's more discipline in the Navy than in the army ( regardless of the country ) in that regard!
I definitely understand why so much work is needed. If I was in charge of thousands of young men and women I would do exactly the same haha. Thank you!

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.

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
If the hulk had a weapon this would be it.
Incredible!, an entire department with specialized personnel only for anchor drop. Never imagined this.
We've all dropped an anchor without a command from the captain at some point in our lives!
fuck I probably can't even afford one of those chain links.
Devin Shillington iron is cheap it its the weight that costs $ to move that's why we give away free bridges to china to make cheap crap er can buy then throw away if the usa makes it another 230 years it will be a miracle.
It would be interesting to see the machines that make those chains and anchors for these big ships of all kind.
Has it really come to this?
I’m watching an anchor drop 😩
Yeah, but sometimes I like to see the folks that work behind the glory scenes. Take the mess personnel for example.
Actually, search around, there’s other videos of anchor drop that are pretty intense.
The berthings are underneath the focsle and the sound of them dropping is like the sound of the world coming apart when you are down there
those hard hats keepin em safe.... lol
Son in my day we used these chains to drag logs with behind a pony
youtube : so u dont know what to watch, huh?
me : yea, most likely
also youtube : *suggesting random videos
Just imagine all the work that goes into making that chain
It looks like so much dangerous around the chain hole even though the ship is for the battle. It would be much more safety when the safety fence around the hole is installed.
Lol fence really how is that going to make anything safer
Why is there so many people screaming in the back round lol?
Oblivion Paradise back round
+Emmanuel Selvas I know lol but it's kinda hilarious
Because its loud as shit on a ship so you have to use your "engineer voice" (shout out to all my fellow engineer rates) or in this case "BM voice".
That was a complete waste of 44 seconds that I'll never get back.
Shawn Powell i don't think you minded at all... you took the privilege to comment about it, which in theory made you waste more time..
Well yeah, point well taken. Merry Christmas.
Fun fact: The anchor isnt whats holding ships in place - it's the weight of the chain that makes sure you dont move. The anchor is only there to hold the chain in place!:)
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
I could break that
I can break these cuffs !
Wow, that is incredible! Big chain, must be freaking loud!
Anywhere in an aircraft carrier is dangerous while in duty, regardless were you are, thats why there's extreme training. Thats what I learned from the uss hornet
hey they found my necklace. was the cross at the end?
nah, just your 10 ton buttplug
StealthyXxX got eeeeem
LOL!
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.😌
This is some unimaginable force!
Dangerous but really interesting to watch.
Scary! Imagine how much cable they need to reach the bottom!
***** No, they have 2 anchors each 1080ft long.
Cable?
A cable is the name for the anchor 'chain' and also refers to a nautical unit of measure
+Man Cave Marvels It's a 'shot', actually. If I remember correctly there are a certain number of 'shots' in a 'fathom'. Or something like that. It's been awhile since I had to use those terms.
Source: Active Duty for coming on 8 years, and I just got stationed on that ship. Lol.
Hi +Christoper Lawson, my reply was regarding what the term 'cable' referred to. I saw another video where the USN mentions the term 'shot'. We call that a 'shackle', which is 15 fathoms, 90 feet, 27.432m and would have to call each shackle as it came out on deck. Different part of the world though cobber, so different terminology ;) Source - 16 years service
