The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is the lead ship of the Gerald R. Ford class of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers operated by the United States Navy.
As for its anchor capacity, the USS Gerald R. Ford is equipped with two ABR (advanced bow rollers) anchor handling systems.
Each system is capable of handling anchors weighing up to 30,000 pounds (about 13,600 kilograms).
These anchor handling systems are designed to efficiently deploy and retrieve the massive anchors used to secure the aircraft carrier in place when anchored.
The anchors are typically deployed and retrieved using heavy-duty anchor chains and winches, with the ABR systems facilitating the process to ensure safe and effective anchoring operations for the carrier.
