Use enough anchor
Some details on the USS Ford's anchor system "The anchor weighs 30,000 pounds and its 1,440-foot chain consists of links weighing about 136 pounds each."
One link weighs the same as my primary anchor and chain

Re: Use enough anchor
Yeah, but I still won't anchor behind them if they are using a CQR.
