You need to order a copy of the Floating Drydock's Sumner/Gearing plan eBook

While it covers primarily the as-built wartime appearance and details of these ships there are invaluable details such as the anchors and chains, complete with dimensions.

It is available direct from the Floating Drydock at

makeing a US Navy style anchor
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 29, 2007 2:10 PM

Hi, I am new to this forum and I am looking for some information. I am building a 1:192 scale model of the USS Zellars DD-777 FRAM II. I am curently looking for information on the ships anchor specifically some dimensional information so I can make my own or a good source online where I could purchase an anchor. I know from other internet sources that the anchors weighed about 2000 lbs each.

I have some photos of the anchors of the USS Laffey taken at the Patriots Point Museum that I can reference but I am having trouble determining the actual size based on these photos.

Any help would be appreciated.
