makeing a US Navy style anchor

Modeling Subjects Ships
1

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.

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
