Inside the Anchor Room of a Supercarrier #shorts
Anchoring a supercarrier is similar to anchoring a pleasure boat, but it's #NotWhatYouThink #shorts

this anchor vs a nokia
How is the anchor raised? Its way anchored into the ground.
Waw
That’s huge
I weigh the exact same as that one piece of chain
Good gracious sakes
More war machines ocean bed crushers please. Yep awesome
Like there’s only one anchor for a war ship.. I’m pretty sure there’s four ..at least..
Imagine a colossal titan swinging that chain.
Nobody: Pitbull owners: I think I'm gonna tie my dog with this chain
I swear, I've seen WAY TOO MANY ads... I legit thought he was gonna say, "Before we drop the anchor, let me thank our sponsor SEAT GEEK..." 😆 LOL
That chain maybe is enough for a bike here in Berlin.... What sec level is it tho?
Now that’s a nice Bike lock
That's a big hunka metal.... Holding an even bigger hunka metal
Dude imagine the dude takes off the blocker only to be pulled along with the chain because of some hydraulic or electric failure? Chain's also heavy enough to pull you through that little hole it runs through. Miss me with that stupidly unsafe job lol
The chain link weighs more than the anchor, and the chain is 97.92 tons.
0:56 But you didn't tell how it is raised
Love how that dude is in a harness with his buddy holding an *oh shit oh shit* lifeline to yank him back
Forced to wear a hard hat knowing damn well that ain't stopping that chain if it busts lol
Not me only seeing my flag on the sailboat (it was the Norwegian flag)
Yeah if I was down there waiting to make sure that that Ancora was in place and that chick came by every time I’d be down there waiting to make sure every time that anchor goes down it sounds so luscious and sensual doesn’t eat HHHHHH
LMAO we didnt wear goggles and hard hats on CVN69 in 1979
Interesting video. But also the work of those who do this work.
Nice butt shot
You know when some ppl say they served on battleships & went to war; yet all they ever done was work the anchor..🤔
Anchors are prehistoric....
Wow!!
Where is this room in my boat in sea of thieves
50 tons anchor wow!
I know I’m not built for the Navy but this looks like a cool ass fucking job
Having actually helped in docking this ship before. I can say it’s more trouble than it’s worth 😒 but it’s cool I guess.
The chains move like a transformer snake 🐍

Fun fact it's not the anchor that stops boats from moving it's the chain the anchor is attached to that stops it moving
I really hate that that dude used fire hose spanner wrenches to tighten the anchor chain restraint.
Hooyah
Imagine having your foot stuck in that chain and someone decides to drop the anchor ⚓
If you wanna have a good time, search for failed anchor drops
Don’t let that fool you, it’s a brutal place to work at, especially for reactor department 😂😅😭

RIP the nukes
I sleep right above that while on the ship, my whole rack shakes
Lol @ get the black guy to do that dangerous job🤭
That was cold when it was falling
ehh that chains like 5 pounds
or you can just sail on to dirt like ever given
Who knew it would take a lot more than just pushing and letting a circle of levers rip it when it comes to a much larger assembly of chains and an even bigger anchor.
That is some final destination shit
y is no one mentioning the star-spangled spinning thingies
Grandpa what did you during the war? I was a hero I dropped anchors
Can someone calculate how much the chain weights?
How is it raised??
but why is hitting the thing with the hammer so “nerve racking”
Im curious. How's corals when achored in other rifts..
Top of the ship with the captain "ok, drop the anchor I guess...boringest part of this" total silence while the crew mates wait. Where the anchor is: A fucking warzone "ITS TIME TEAM LETS GO, OPEN THE HATCH!!!" Opens giant metal doors to the violent cold open sea "RELEASE THE CHAIN, CAREFUL MEN HOLD ON" Two guys tied to the wall as one holds the balance of the other, whose hammering down a lock the size of a baby elephant using a mallet the size of him. "ALRIGHT, Time for the most exiting part of working a ship, DROP THE ANCHOR!!!" As they let go of a 100 ton mile long chain holding a hunk of metal the size of a car, as it falls the chain hitting the floor and sounding like a mechine gun of tanks is shooting a hundred rounds a second in one single room as the team in said room right next to this explosion of pure metal while holding for dear life and trying not to get hit by this massive chain or fall into an endless bottomless sea of blackness and death. Just imagine the trailer for Battlefield One happening in a single room.
Ha ! they look like lego men🤣
The dude is staying close to cable after release. OMG🙈
Oh so they get the only black dude on deck to remove the blockers....

You’re racist. You look at race instead of a human being. You have problems
This is actually the USS HARRY S TRUMAN. This was my ship and I know some of these sailors and the USS GERALD FORD HAS NOTHING ON THE TRUMAN..
im high and learned take that mom i love my mom
Did anyone notice that guy from the office is there the young one
I thought someone will press series of buttons.😇
And who pulls it back?
Is this man Norwegian or got a picture online
how many people have fucked up and gotten too close
0:50 Don't worry it's just here for me to research the ocean floor.....
I love the "one brave sailor" part 😬
Each link is 100+ lbs.. jfc.
Wow! That anchor is the weight of a school bus
Brunost gang, where u at?
It's like something you have to tie around a woman of colours ankles to stop ✋her from going into KFC 🍗.
Very interesting, but, I had to come back and see the bikini.
There was a beautiful flower in this video see if you can find it and let me know if you do.💖
0:49 this is for my homies
The Anchor weighs even more than yo mama
I bet I could move that chain by myself I’m strong
The sheer weight and size is more then my mind can handle. Also how fast that chain snakes out.
NORGE!!!🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Nice
Respect
Dang one thign of that chain is heavier than me
Thats so heavy
I’ve been there before
That's was fine ass
I guess it’s that same in the fact that two boats are dropping an anchor other than that it’s completely different
....and Meechant Navy Legends do Anchor Stations with only 3 people⚓️
Everybody gangster till your pants get caught on the chain
If that’s the view you get every time you dive to check the anchor then I’d much rather do it that way 😂
And my bike still got stolen, chain still not thick enough.
I liked the diving part
*That, "Anchor Room", in the title isn't actually called an anchor room on U.S. aircraft carriers... It's called the, "forecastle", and is pronounced like, "foke sul"...*
Man, I'm jealous. Everything looks so new. Meanwhile we're over here stuck with 40+ year old Carriers that break everytime they go do sea trials
I would NOT want to be in the way of that chain as it falls, I bet that could cause some serious damage
Why can only see one-third of my screen? 👎🏻
Been there, done that.
Oooh Norwegian flag my homeland 🙂
Funfact: one piece of the chain weighs more than me lmao
If you have seen a chainstopper disfunction on one of these babys you know what Power they have. Can literally cut a person in half!
I think these videos are very interesting. I can't believe each link weighs 136 lbs.
But how the ship balance on the water with the heaviest anchor on the side of it
When one link of the chain weighs more than you...
Whoa
