In case you were curious about the gold-painted anchors, ships that receive the US Navy Retention Excellence Award are allowed to paint their anchors gold to show off that status. I'm 99% sure the carrier shown here is USS George HW Bush CVN-77. The award is given for "sustaining superior levels of military retention," retention meaning the rate at which personnel voluntarily re-enlist and stay on that ship.
This video was really interesting and informative! Speaking from my perspective as a US Navy submarine veteran, the bottom of the anchor on a submarine is designed in such a way that when the anchor is stored, the bottom of it conforms to the vessel's round bottom. There's holes in the bottom of the submarine that are specifically designed for the anchor's flukes, and the chain is stored in a bin in one of the main ballast tanks. When the anchor is stored in place, if you were to look at the bottom of the submarine when it's in drydock, unless you knew what you were looking for, it would be difficult to spot the anchor.
The room with the windlass is called the forecastle. My Marine son told me that the forecastle is a special part of the ship where promotions are sometimes awarded. I got to go on a "Tiger Cruise" with my son aboard the USS America. It was a major highlight of my 74 years
Having built US Navy ships my entire life, it’s quite exciting for the brake band on the winless to catch on fire during free fall operation. This is due to hydraulic oil leaks in the system. An unavoidable consequence on the older anchor systems. I’ve been doing this 30 something years
