Aircraft Carrier Anchor Drop – Forecastle Anchor Room

Working around machines myself, I can’t imagine how loud that’s gotta be lol

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near so much weight and force. Holy fuck.

Fuck this ship😭 Cell Block 76

Use better robots to do the job. Blue collar stuff most shitty place to work

Enjoy the respiratory problems

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!:)

Remember sailors, it's pronouned "folk-sul" not "four-castle"...

Submarines have anchors! I speak from experience.

I could pick that chain up with one finger....

Imagine falling down that hole

Dumbest tech ever. Almost like its entire purpose is to generate friction and wear down metal. Anchoring is just a convenient side-effect.

losing a decibel of hearing for every drop

I have a phobia of gigantism

Probably best not to be breathing that airborne rust

​@CreativeAmerican how can you call yourself a creative American and you can even recognize when someone is purposely simplifying the actual subject in order to emphasize how simple the object is?

Hey what if you touch that at full speed?💀😐

Why do they have a screaming kid in there?

“Inhaling rust particles is particularly concerning, since long-term exposure can lead to siderosis, a condition in which iron deposits build up in the lungs.”

Is the edge of the ramp there to shake off the rust? Being curved would make it "quieter" so I assume it's practical.

Nice special effects on the thumbnail 👌

Straight up clickbait on that thumbnail. Not even ashamed of it.

😎😎

My poops when I unload them.

May it sink

Well that was about as interesting as a tRump speech .

How is there not water splashing up

can a magician escape that chain?

RR hooyah

"Your hearing loss is not service related."

Imagine getting ur foot stuck

Boring

I need one of those for my new e bike !

Rub your balls with grease.

The hawse must be huge

How heavy is the anchor?

Pretty sure one of those chain links is as big as most anchors i have seen

Just the sight of all that iron streaming by like that is freaky, when you think about how much the chain actually weighs. It's moving like it doesn't weigh much but... wow.

eerie idea that when the chains are being pulled up you just start seeing blood covering the chains

That metal on metal contact is just crying out for some sort of grease or oil, puffing clouds of rust up.

Would a bucket of grease on the sliding metal edge hurt?

I was stationed on a Carrier, i looked down that anchor hole, very disorienting!

I am certainly no expert - but standing so close to that while it is moving does not look safe to me.

I didn`t know it took that many guys to drop an anchor....

finally a big enough chain for my debut as a soundcloud rapper

She needs a muddy bottom

Had one guy run out when we dropped, I chased him and dragged him but. Who does that? Runaway?🤔🤬

I was 1st division on Midway CV-41 the wrench for our chain was about 5 feet long, good old days 👍🏽

What if my anchors made of wood?

So, they were in 20' of water?
