Nice shot.
I notice that the anchor hasn't been wound in fully...is that normal?

Thanks for the comments.
As for the anchor, I'm not sure why it's like that as usually it's wound in.

Odd that a warship should look so tranquil, but it does. Nice capture.

The anchor is always eased out ready to let go in a hurry when warships are transiting confined or shallow water. Known as a seaman-like precaution.
