When they’re attacked by Somali pirates they can surrender the anchor. Problem solved.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! MAGA! :)

Besides, they have to drop anchor when everyone goes swimming in the Marianas Trench as a Navy Right of Passage. :)

I remember going through boot camp in 1974 in San Diego and the big “65” was moving past the school buildings and dwarfing them all. What a beautiful sight to witness!

Good to hear the third Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier built for the United States Navy will bear the name Enterprise (CVN-80), to become the ninth United States naval vessel so named...

Construction began August 2017, and the new “Big E” is scheduled to begin operation in 2027.

JMHO, there should always be an “Enterprise” in commission...

What goes wrong with such an anchor that it needs to be replaced?

When you install used parts, doesn’t that void the warranty?

In my four years in, I served on the USS Peleliu. We dropped the anchor twice.
You train for these things, but you're never really prepared for the incredibly loud noise and immense power of that thing dropping and the chain flying right by you.
Quite the experience.
