Am I the only one puzzled by the fact that this ship doesn’t seem to have an anchor? What will they do? Only go to ports where they can tie up to a pier?
It does have an anchor. It’s kept inboard. If you look closely at the bow, you can see flush-mounted ports where the anchor can exit the bow.
The Zumwalt’s anchor is highly automated and is designed to be operated by a single sailor. The capstands on the Zumwalt are below deck, so they cannot be seen by enemy radar. The entire system drops straight down so the anchor is dropped out of the bottom of the hull.
