And what would happen if you dropped the anchor on your Air Craft carrier while under way.
Would lives be possibly lost? Would you damage the aircraft carrier?
But, more interestingly ... what would the Navy do to you?
at 105,000 displaced tons, traveling at 20 knots, it would snap with a thunderous explosion, dent up the outer hull a bit and ensure that the continual endless evolution of painting the ship is safe.
The Navy? Yeah you’d be looking for another line of work...
Well for starters one drunk will likely never drop an anchor on a carrier alone. It's not an entirely push button operation. The anchor is locked in place with a huge pin though a link which must me driven out with a big sledge hammer first. Most drunks would lack the coordination to accomplish the task. The task takes several men maybe even up to a dozen to do it safely. IOW you go pounding on that link and about 100 angry Deck Apes nearby are gonna hear it and deal with that person themselves then let the Marines lock him up. There's no excusing what the drunk did but the ship should have had secured the anchor better.
